Mohammed, who stated this when he received in his office, the Oluyin of Iyin-Ekiti, His Royal Majesty, Oba Adeola Adeniyi Ajakaiye, stressed the need for leaders at all levels to give the people message of hope instead of making comments tcanhat only aggravate tension.
The minister
observed that traditional rulers are indispensable to the maintenance of peace
and security in their domain and must not be ignored.
He appealed
to the monarch to work with his fellow traditional rulers, as well as the
Government of Ekiti State, to ensure peace and security in the state.
The minister
told the monarch that ahead of his visit to the Esa Cave and Okuta Abanijorin,
the ministry will be sending the National Commission for Museums and
Monuments(NCMM), a parastatal in charge of museums and historical sites in the
country, to visit the two tourist sites in Iyin-Ekiti – Esa Cave and Okuta
Abanijorin – and report back to him.
He assured
the Oluyin that government will do its best to help showcase and popularise the
top two tourist sites in the town, adding that putting the tourist sites on the
national and global map will attract tourists, which will, in turn, boost the
economy.
Mohammed,
however, stressed that there can be no successful tourism without security.
Hence, the need to ensure peace and tranquility in Ekiti state.
