He said that there were plans to replicate such amusement parks in some other Local Government Areas of the State. The Lagos State Government on Saturday said that it would utilise the opportunities in the tourism sector to boost its Internal revenue.
The Gov. of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, said this at the official inauguration of the redeveloped Apapa Amusement Park in Lagos. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the 40- year- old Amusement Park was shut down on March 17, 2012 by the state government for upgrading. Ambode, who was represented by his Special Adviser on Arts and Culture, Mrs Adebimpe Akinsola, said that the park was now opened to the public. He said that there were plans to replicate such amusement parks in some other Local Government Areas of the State.
“Our plan is to see that we generate good income from the parks for Lagosians and visitors to enjoy themselves.
“ The park provides picture-perfect moments and memories that last a lifetime; also an ideal place for family fun,’’ he said.
Mrs Olufunmilayo Balogun, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, commended Ambode for reopening the amusement park. “ The park will help to reposition the face of tourism in the state,’’ she said.
