MEJABI Department of Tourism, School of Technology, Federal Polytechnic, P.M.B.1037, Idah, Kogi State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] GRACE N. ABUTU (Mrs) Department of Tourism, School of Technology, Federal Polytechnic, P.M.B.1037, Idah, Kogi State,Nigeria ABSTRACT Tourism has become a driving force in the improvement of global economies and a substantial contributor to the world revenue. The main justification for tourism development across the countries of the world generally focuses on its potential for positive economic impacts. The UNWTO annual Report of 2012 indicated that tourism generates 5% of direct global GDP, 235 million jobs worldwide, 30% of the world export of services, 980 million international Tourists in 2011, and 103 billion US Dollars generated by tourists. And by the 2013 annual report, the industry had achieved an historical milestone, in which one billion people travelled in a single year of 2012. Hence, it is heralded as the world largest industry. Nigeria can no longer afford to be left out. It is on this note that this paper examined the tourism industry and its impacts at the global level, the Nigerian tourism and the numerous tourism resources therein. The challenges confronting the sector were identified, such as lack of adequate infrastructure, insecurity among others and it was also recommended that for the sector to be alive to its responsibility the issue of insecurity and infrastructural decadence among others must be addressed.

  • Lagos State Poctket Factfinder
    HISTORY Before the creation of the States in 1967, the identity of Lagos was restricted to the Lagos Island of Eko (Bini word for war camp). The first settlers in Eko were the Aworis, who were mostly hunters and fishermen. They had migrated from Ile-Ife by stages to the coast at Ebute- Metta. The Aworis were later reinforced by a band of Benin warriors and joined by other Yoruba elements who settled on the mainland for a while till the danger of an attack by the warring tribes plaguing Yorubaland drove them to seek the security of the nearest island, Iddo, from where they spread to Eko. By 1851 after the abolition of the slave trade, there was a great attraction to Lagos by the repatriates. First were the Saro, mainly freed Yoruba captives and their descendants who, having been set ashore in Sierra Leone, responded to the pull of their homeland, and returned in successive waves to Lagos. Having had the privilege of Western education and christianity, they made remarkable contributions to education and the rapid modernisation of Lagos. They were granted land to settle in the Olowogbowo and Breadfruit areas of the island. The Brazilian returnees, the Aguda, also started arriving in Lagos in the mid-19th century and brought with them the skills they had acquired in Brazil. Most of them were master-builders, carpenters and masons, and gave the distinct charaterisitics of Brazilian architecture to their residential buildings at Bamgbose and Campos Square areas which form a large proportion of architectural richness of the city.

  • Reviewed Paper Assessment of Metropolitan
    % reviewed paper Assessment of Metropolitan Urban Forms and City Geo-spatial Configurations using Green Infrastructure Framework: The Case Study of Lagos Island, Lagos State, Nigeria Adesina John A., Timothy Michael A., Akintaro Emmanuel A. (Adesina John A., Department of Architecture, University of Lagos, Lagos, [email protected]) (Timothy Michael A., Department of Surveying &Geo-informatics, Bells University of Technology, Ota, Ogun State, [email protected]) (Akintaro Emmanuel A., Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, [email protected]) 1 ABSTRACT For over three decades, the economic and commercial activities of both local and foreign organizations, firms, industries and institutions have been moving to the Lagos Island in search for a reputable business atmosphere and this has led to the emergence of vertical urbanizations of the area thereby turning it into a foremost Central Business District (CBD). The Lagos metropolis is the economic hub of West Africa and the Lagos Island has the bulk of the economic activities. Most of the ill-controlled infrastructural developments are along the major streets and the Island districts are supposed to have certain spatial configurations expected of a metropolitan city like Lagos. The basic urban form design policies and theories had been neglected long time ago thereby making the streets faced with chaotic smart growths, worrisome urban resilience and harsh biophilic architecture with little or no consideration to green landscapes. This study is situated upon the Urban Morphological Theory which investigates the relationships between urban design spatial configurations, landscape and ecological urbanism and some other green city conceptual frameworks. Scholars in the field of landscape urbanism had made divergent or opposed theoretical, conceptual and methodological choices, opportunities in the metamorphosis of a city forms and streetscapes.

  • Bisade Ologunde: I Am Still Trying to Hold on to What Moves People About Music
    The African e-Journals Project has digitized full text of articles of eleven social science and humanities journals. This item is from the digital archive maintained by Michigan State University Library. Find more at: http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/africanjournals/ Available through a partnership with Scroll down to read the article. BISADE OLOGUNDE: I AM STILL TRYING TO HOLD ON TO WHAT MOVES PEOPLE ABOUT MUSIC EDITOR 'S NOTE: Lagbaja is not only the theme for the music album of Bisade Ologunde 's team. It is a theme but more than a theme. It is a concept. A concept of a masked musician. An anonymous man, an unknown instrumentalist striking the keyboard notes or blasting away on the bass guitar. Bisade would not confirm this, but Lagbaja, that is the concept of an unknown man rings a strident bell with both a musical and political resonance. Can we expect not to recall that Fela Anikulapo-Kuti in the 70s released an album titled Unknown Soldier ? Which itself echoed the summed up verdict of a judicial commission that investigated a raid of uniformed soldiers on his erstwhile residential compound in Lagos - the Kalakuta Republic. As Bisade confesses to us, influences fly from mind to mind purely at the stream of the subconscious: Nobody can hold on to it! UESTION: Can you give us a Q brief introduction to your person? ANSWER: Well, I call Bisade a musician. I'm also a producer. We have a band, we've been together now for about five or six years; sorry, this is the fifth year; in another one month, it will be five years we've been together.
