The Tourism Sector in Nigeria

by Fred Nwaozor The tourism sector in Nigeria is a largely untapped yet highly promising component of the national economy. With her vast landmass, rich cultural diversity, and varied ecosystems, Nigeria possesses the natural and human resources required to build a thriving tourism industry. Tourism, if properly harnessed, can serve as a major source of revenue, employment, and international goodwill for the country. Nigeria’s cultural diversity is one of its greatest tourism assets. With over 250 ethnic groups, each with distinct languages, traditions, festivals, and cuisines, the country offers a wide range of cultural experiences. Traditional festivals such as the Argungu Fishing Festival, Osun-Osogbo Festival, Durbar Festival, and New Yam festivals attract both local and international visitors. The country is also blessed with numerous natural attractions that have strong tourism potential. These include scenic landscapes such as the Obudu Mountain Resort in Cross River ...

"We will appeal Verdict on Kanu" - Counsel

Frank Musa
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, will challenge the life sentence issued against him by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

This was disclosed by his former lawyer and consultant, Aloy Ejimakor.

Kanu was on Thursday, 20th November 2025 convicted on all seven terrorism-related charges filed by the Federal Government.

Justice James Omotosho sentenced him to life imprisonment on counts one, two, four, five and six; 20 years without the option of a fine on count three; and an additional five years, also without an option of a fine, on count seven.

Court sentences Kanu to Life Imprisonment over Terrorism Conviction

Speaking with journalists after the ruling, Ejimakor said the legal team would immediately appeal the judgment. “We are heading to appeal,” he stated.

In a separate reaction posted on X, Ejimakor insisted the verdict would not stand, arguing Kanu was not a terrorist.

"The verdict & the sentence today will not stand. MAZI NNAMDI KANU is not a terrorist. NDIGBO are not terrorists. We all know who the real terrorists are, and luckily, the Americans know them too,” he wrote.

Ejimakor also faulted the court’s reliance on some of Kanu’s broadcasts, saying they were harmless and unconnected with any acts of violence.

"How can you convict a man for making mere broadcasts from a location that was never named and never tied to a single incident of violence?” he queried.

He described the judgment as lacking merit in law, logic, and fact, maintaining the defence would pursue all legal options to overturn it.
