Ojo-Lanre tasks Christ School Alumni to plant museum

Ojo - Lanre tasks Christ School Ado - Ekiti Alumni to plant a Museum A call has gone to the Alumni Association of Christ School, Ado Ekiti, to plant a befitting historical, educational museum inside the school where the present students' generation can interact with the past students' generation. Amb Wale Ojo - Lanre, Country Leader, Federation of World Culture and Arts Society Singapore, FOWCASS, in Nigeria, made this advocacy, in a paper ' Globalisation of Indigenous Tourist Attraction Sites and Financial Inclusion of Small Businesses in Ekiti.' he delivered to the Class 99, Christ School, Alumni Association on a Google Meet, yesterday. AMB Ojo- Lanre who was the Guest - Speaker at the Maiden Edition of Class 99 Christ School Alumni Association's Public Engagement said that " Christ School could be described as an indomitable educational oak in Nigeria particularly in the Western region and especially in Ekiti State, such an educational giant deserves a Museum, where the present story can interact with the past narrative ' Amb Ojo- Lanre pointed out that Christ School is rich in history, buoyant in records, produced eminently and accomplished Nigerians, and has compelling artifacts and items, research materials, photographs, documents, and profiles that waste away, scattered here and there, all these should be assembled in a museum inside the school for the inter-generational educational benefits He commended Class 99 for being proactive and altruistic by organizing platforms where discourses that benefit society can be interrogated, analyzed, and clinically sieved for the benefit of society. Amb Ojo- Lanre said that Globalizing Indigenous tourist attraction sites can attract international tourists, leading to increased visitor spending, job creation, and business opportunities for the local community He pointed out that showcasing Indigenous cultures and traditions to a global audience would create an opportunity to raise awareness about the value of these cultural assets, which can lead to their preservation and protection, and Globalization allows for the exchange of ideas and best practices in the tourism industry, which can contribute to the development of sustainable tourism practices in Ekiti. Amb Ojo- Lanre declared that financial inclusion would enable small businesses in the tourism sector in Ekiti to have access to capital as small businesses often struggle to access affordable credit and financing. " " By promoting financial inclusion, small businesses in Ekiti can gain access to capital, enabling them to grow, invest in infrastructure, and create employment opportunities." He pointed out that. ' Financial inclusion initiatives can provide small businesses with training, mentorship, and technical assistance to improve their skills and capabilities, enhancing their chances of success." Amb Ojo- Lanre concluded that " By embracing the globalization of Indigenous tourist attraction sites and promoting financial inclusion for small businesses, Ekiti can harness the economic and cultural potential of the region while ensuring sustainable and inclusive development." Dr. Ebenezer Ajayi, Akin Agbabiaka, and other officials of Christ School, Class 99, commended Amb Ojo- Lanre for delivering a rich paper that did appropriate justice to the topic. They applauded the decision of Governor Biodun Oyebanji to excrete tourism from the shackles of the Ministry by creating a separate agency solely for the promotion and globalization of Ekiti tourism assets.
