The member of Osun State House of Assembly representing Obokun state constituency, Honourable Olatunbosun Oyintiloye has called on government at all levels to invest in tourism to boost the economy.

He said this on Friday at the 130th annual Yoruba Peace Treaty celebration in commemoration of the signing of peace treaty that ended the civil war among the Yoruba nation in Imesi Ile, Obokun Local Government of Osun state.

Oyintiloye stressed the need to focus on development and preservation of culture as well as investment in tourism as a veritable means of reviving the nation’s declining economy.

The legislator also called for the institutionalisation of regional integration to sustain peaceful co-existence among Yoruba nation.

He said the present recession which blurred the economy was an opportunity for those at the helms of affairs to reposition the economy for self-sustenance, saying the enormous tourism potential in the country is capable of augmenting government earning if properly harnessed.
