The governor spoke in Lafiagi, Edu local government area of the state during the Emirate’s Sallah Nko festival.
He said the state is endowed with beautiful culture that can attract tourists and boost local economy. Sallah Nko festival is a yearly socio-cultural gathering where all sons and daughters of Lafiagi Emirate, including village heads, pay homage to the Emir as part of the Eid celebration. This year’s edition involved the turbaning of some of its prominent persons as title holders in appreciation of their contributions to the community.
“We will continue to promote our culture. Next year again, this will be more elaborate. We want all Nigerians to come to Lafiagi, as they are coming for the Ilorin Durbar. There is an airport here. So, you can fly in and fly out,” the governor said.
