The minister said the Buhari-led government is working round the clock to provide infrastructure across the country.

According to him, the visit by France President Emmanuel Macron to the African Shine in Lagos is an indication that Nigeria is now set to receive global tourists.

“There is no doubt that Nigeria is fast becoming a destination of choice for international tourists, thanks to the country’s hospitable people, the country’s increasingly-high rating in the international community and the successes achieved by the present administration in ensuring the security of lives and property, as well as providing infrastructure such as power, roads, and rail,” the statement read.

“The administration’s visa on arrival policy is also helping in making Nigeria a destination of choice for tourists and business
people in general.
