Ben Murray Bruce urges President about Governors' vacation

Nigerian Senator, Ben Murray Bruce has urged the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari to ask the Governors of Nigeria to always spend their vacation in Nigeria instead of going abroad. He said this will help to bring international focus to the tourist attractions we have in Nigeria and foster good economy. See what he wrote on his facebook page.....

'Nigeria's elected leaders are legally entitled to paid holiday and typically they take these holidays in exotic foreign holiday destinations. But the world is changing. Nigeria is changing. And as Nigerians, we have to adjust our behaviours so that they make economic sense in today's world.

We need to be looking at non oil resources and tourism is one area we can make a honest buck. But which tourist would come to Nigeria if our own elite refuse to holiday here?......'
