The Nasarawa State Deputy Governor, Mr Mike Abdul, urged entrepreneurs to invest in the region's tourism sector.

Abdul identified the tourism industry as the ideal sector to help diversify the state's economy and to create employment opportunities.

The Deputy Governor expressed his administration's interest to join hands with the private sector in order to transform tourism in the state. He added that all possible avenues in the sector need to be explored.

Many mechanisms, such as tax incentives and access to roads, have been put into place by government to lure prospective investors.
