Mr Femi Martins, Special Adviser to Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tourism, Arts and Culture, said this in a statement on Tuesday.

He commended the new and continuous touch of innovation added to the annual event, especially the participation of tourists and cultural enthusiasts from different countries of the world.

He explained that culture and heritage occupy a prime place in the state’s tourism master plan recently presented to tourism stakeholders by Gov. Sanwo-Olu.
