Three Years After President Buhari’s ‘Lazy Youths’ Comment, Lai Mohammed Boasts About Wizkid And Burna Boy’s Grammy
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has said Nigeria is set to host the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) Regional Conference in 2022.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, the minister also said the entertainment industry in Nigeria is a major factor for the country to be recognised globally as he basked in the recent famous Grammy awards of Nigerians singers, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, famously known as Burna Boy and Ayodeji Balogun, aka Wizkid.
The minister disclosed this in Sal Island, Cape Verde, after a meeting with the secretary-general of the UNWTO, Zurab Pololikashvili.
Mohammed also admitted that foreigners visit Nigeria more for business than tourism, while taking pride in the creative industry mostly occupied by Nigerian youths whom his principal, President Muhammadu Buhari had once called lazy youths for ‘doing nothing.’
