  • Travel Journal of a Painter: Inspiring Places in Nigeria
    International Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Studies Volume 2, Issue 6, June 2015, PP 24-29 ISSN 2394-6288 (Print) & ISSN 2394-6296 (Online) Travel Journal of a Painter: Inspiring places in Nigeria JOSHUA, John Oyedemi Department of Fine and Applied Arts, University of Jos, Jos.Nigeria ABSTRACT This write up focuses on the travel journal of a painter, influences that inspire documentations of memorable places in sketches, with a disposition for models and horses,markets and aerial views around Nigeria. It symbolizes a critical attempt at visualizing events from place to place. These sketches prepare the painter with ready materials for paintings over a period of time and in some instance the information (elements of design) garnered could sustain the enthusiasm on a subject-matter. Findings have shown that sketches for a work can be drawn from multiple sources to guide in expression. The outcome of the journey of the travel artist is reflected in a journal. INTRODUCTION It is known that artists experience varieties of forms and images in different settings, cultures and develop them either on site or in the studio. The interest to paint and document certain important locations and sites have prompted artists to accept challenges of exploring places of the great convergence of elements of design. Artists travel to places of interest, tourist sites, monuments, museums and even other countries. Visual travelling is an essential part of the artistic development process as it entails moving from one location to another. It can serve as a means of gathering, collecting references for future use in the studio while others are left as the artist’ sketches.

E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +2348036772435 Abstract Tourism has become one of the most significant export sectors in many developing countries. A general consensus has emerged that it does not only increases foreign exchange income, but also creates employment opportunities, stimulates the growth of the tourism industry and by virtue of this, trigger overall economic growth. As such, tourism development has become an important target for most governments, especially for development countries. Nigeria is among the richly endowed potential tourist destinations in the world. Its tourism attractions are abundantly available especially in the rural areas and they are untapped. However, the accelerating and synergistic interaction between technology and tourism in recent times has brought fundamental changes in the industry and the perceptions of its nature. To explore the potential of rural tourism and have the tourism sector of Nigeria contribute maximally to the national economy as a major export earner like petroleum, this paper suggests local content development in the area of information and communications technology (ICT). This is after the paper had examined the Global Tourism Industry; Rural Tourism Potentials in Nigeria; the state of ICT in Nigeria Keywords: Nigeria, Diversification, ICT, Rural Tourism Volume-3 | Issue-5 | May,2017 | Paper-1 1 IJRDO-Journal of Business Management ISSN: 2455-6661 1.

  • Socio-Economic Assessment of Religious Tourism in Nigeria
    International Journal of Islamic Business & Management Vol. 2, No. 1; 2018 Published by Centre for Research on Islamic Banking & Finance and Business Socio-Economic Assessment of Religious Tourism in Nigeria Emmanuel O. Okon1 1Department of Economics, Kogi State University, Anyigba, Kogi State, Nigeria Correspondence: Department of Economics, Kogi State University, Anyigba, Kogi State, Nigeria, E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: +2348023275716 Received: January 8, 2018 Accepted: January 12, 2018 Online Published: January 19, 2018 Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine the socio-economic impact of religious tourism in Nigeria. Data for this study are from secondary sources and it covers 2000-2011. The technique of content analysis was used to analyze the contents of these materials. The paper reveals that the springing up of different Pentecostal Churches across the country and the various conventions and festivals being held annually and quarterly by this churches have virtually increase the numbers of arrivals from overseas countries who visit the country to attend various religious programs. This has generated employment for the inhabitants of the areas; religious tourism has become the highest earner of foreign exchange for the country's tourism industry even though tourism industry is still in embryonic stages and has not yet assumed a significant position in Nigeria‘s GDP pie. This paper recommends that the hospitality industry should upgrade existing facilities while the government should construct or upgrade to international standards roads leading to major cities and rural areas and needs to provide basic amenities in tourism destinations. At the local government level, inventory of all tourist sites and festivals in different localities should be published so as to bring these tourist sites into limelight.

  • Harnessing Cultural Heritage for Tourism Development in Nigeria
    G.J. C.M.P., Vol. 2(3) 2013:121-131 ISSN: 2319 – 7285 HARNESSING CULTURAL HERITAGE FOR TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA: ISSUES AND PROSPECTS BANKOLE, Adeyinka Oladayo, PhD Department of Behavioural Studies, College of Management Sciences, Redeemer‟s University, Mowe, Ogun State, Nigeria Abstract Nigeria is vast in tourism potentials, historic towns and highly diversified cultural heritage embodying people‟s traditions, religion and belief systems, festivals and ceremonies. The capacity of these symbolic representations of people‟s values, identity, and heritage to earn Nigeria substantial revenue is not in doubt. However, the inability to transform them to tourism assets has been a major concern to stakeholders. This paper examines Nigeria‟s vast cultural heritage and the prospect of harnessing them towards tourism sector development. The paper synthesizes both primary and secondary information on cultural heritage in Nigeria. The discourse shows that tourism development in Nigeria is encumbered with many systemic problems. The „loss‟ and the rebuilding efforts of the cultural heritage were discussed. Major recommendations suggest concerted efforts from the government, private sector operators and host communities. Very key are need for investment in infrastructures and the political will to democratically resolve the perennial problem of insecurity. Keywords: Culture, Cultural Heritage, Tourism Development, Nigeria. 1.0 Introduction A major feature of the globalizing world has been increasing competition in many facets of life, including the movement of people for leisure purpose. While other regions are better organized and derived benefits from the increasingly competitive global economy, Africa's place in the global market is getting increasingly ambivalent. On the one hand, Africa‟s increasing marginalization is reflected in its declining share of world trade, overseas development assistance (ODA), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), and the loss of its previous comparative advantage in the supply of raw materials.

Vol.13, No.5, ISSN 2285-3138 INSTITUTIONAL FINANCING AND CORPORATE GROWTH; A CONCEPTUAL NEXUS *SANI, SAMINU & **MOHAMMED, MAARUFAH ABDULMALIK *Department of Accounting, Faculty of Humanities, Management and Social Science, Federal University Wukari, Taraba State **Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria Abstract Just as blood is crucial to human existence, so is finance considered as one amongst the pivotal ingredients necessary for the survival and growth of every corporate entity. Finance is thus considered as a life wire that facilitates operations in corporate settings. Institutions with organized activities requires huge amount of cash to help cater for the running of operations and as such, they have to get an adequate source of funds which basically comes from financial institutions or other investment institutions. For meaningful growth to be experienced in corporations and the economy as a whole, comprehensive investment packages is the essential ingredient that will lubricate and accelerate the rate of growth and development that is needed. In this case, rather than individual financing of corporate entities; that is characterized by low financial package, institutions with their enormous resources can invest to other institutions to boost their degree of operations. The study is purely an exploratory study that is aimed at establishing the nexus between institutional financing and corporate growth through review of related literatures. Institutional financing has become the gateway of tapping into the capital of corporations in a way of getting them to commit their resources in other ventures or institutions to providing the needed capital and liquidity to facilitate the rate of growth and development.
