The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) on Wednesday took Delegates at the ongoing 59th Airports Council International (ACI) Africa Conference on a sight seeing visit to some tourists sites in Lagos.
Engr. Saleh Dunoma, Managing Director, FAAN and President ACI Africa , led the visitors to Madam Nike Arts Gallery, Freedom Park and Terra Kulture, a leading art, culture, lifestyle, and educational centre
The visitors, including Ms Angela Gittens, Director General, ACI World, Canada, had fun learning how to make traditional fabric, popular called Adire, at Madam Nike's Art Gallery.
They also had the opportunity of viewing the beautiful art works exhibited at the gallery and were very impressed with their high quality.
At Freedom Park, the visitors were entertained with musical performances by various cultural groups and also took a guided tour of the park where they were given historical lessons.
The delegates later proceeded to Terra Kulture and were treated to a sumptuous local and international dishes at the beautiful restaurant.
Speaking on the purpose of the tour, Dunoma said it was an opportunity for FAAN to showcase the tourism potential of Nigeria to the delegates.
Dunoma said :"The purpose is to sell Nigeria. It is an opportunity for us to showcase Nigeria and that is why we selected some sites around Lagos so that we can take our guests there.
"We want them to see our culture and our beautiful locations so that at the end of the day we will give them a good impression of what Nigeria is for them to take back to their countries.
"Since Nigeria is trying to attract investors, we felt that during the conference; so many people, including captains of industries and players, have come in and this is the only way we can showcase Nigeria to them."
