Nigeria-Uganda to partner in tourism

By Nicholas Wassajja

The government of Uganda is yet to sign a bi-lateral agreement with the federal government of Nigeria to promote tourism and good communication links within the two states.


The minister of state for regional affairs, Asuman Lukwago, said that they are considering a number of reforms to undertake in ensuring that the tourism industries of both countries develop.

“we are considering a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to improve communication and joint tourism between Uganda and Nigeria, to see to it that we both have a robust industry attracting tourists across the globe because we have the potential,” Lukwago said.
