BENIN CITY — THE lawmaker representing Akoko-Edo Constituency II, Mr Emmanuel Agbaje, yesterday, called on the state government to invest more in tourism to take away young people from the unemployment market in the state.
He said the annual Ososo carnival in Akoko-Edo council had over the years created annual sources of income for young people in the area and believed that government’s input to the festival would boost tourism and income generation for the youths of the area.
