Delta State Government  has said that tourism is one sector of the economy that it  is developing to  diversify the state’s economy.

The  state commissioner for   Information,  Mr. Chike Ogeah, stated this  during a fund raising and cultural day ceremony  by the Lagos branch of Asaba Development Union (ADU) women’s wing, weekend.

He said that apart  from focusing on oil, Delta State Government is venturing into other lucrative areas that would contribute in boosting the economy of the state to which tourism is a top priority.

He said: ”We are looking at other areas where we have comparative advantage, areas of agriculture, health,and tourism.  You can see the rich culture of the people. Some of the countries which are the richest in the world do not  depend on any form of natural resources. The greatest resource now is the human capital, the human resource and maybe next to that is the ITC.”
