At the meeting, the Commissioner for Culture and Tourism,
Toyin Taiwo, emphasised the need to reintroduce what the gateway state stands
for to Nigerians all over the world. He also noted that investment
opportunities and tourism potential of the state was underexplored.
He said, “The planned expose on adire (tie and dye), the
locally cultivated Ofada rice and other artistic products which are identities
of the state will be the focal points of the festival.”
Taiwo also reiterated the commitment of Governor Dapo
Abiodun to arts, culture and tourism.
The festival, which is a brainchild of the ministry, Jimson
Global Services, Saubana Multi-Global Ventures, Fritots Global Communications
and Creative VIillage Productions, is slated for the last quarter of the year
in Texas, USA.
