In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of the UAE–Africa Tourism Investment Summit 2025,
which began today in Dubai, Musawa said that Nigeria is adopting a deliberate and well-planned approach to developing its
tourism sector.

She noted that her country has identified three strategic projects for collaboration with the UAE and Emirati investors,
aimed at enhancing partnership and expanding investment opportunities in the tourism industry.

According to the minister, the three projects include the “Koko Beach Resort in Lago”, which has already achieved about
12% completion, the Cultural Centre Project in Abuja, and the planned establishment of a Rotana Hotel in either Abuja or
Lagos.

Musawa added that cooperation on these specific projects will help build investor confidence, attract more Emirati
investments, and pave the way for broader partnerships between the two nations in the fields of tourism, culture, and the
creative economy.

She affirmed that the success of these joint projects will open new horizons for tourism and cultural cooperation between
Nigeria and the UAE, establishing a strategic partnership based on mutual benefit and sustainable development.

In September, Sharjah organised the fourth Arabic Poetry Forum, with the participation of 17 poets in Nigeria.

The Arabic Poetry Fora in Africa are in implementation of the directives of the Ruler of Sharjah, which seek to support and
disseminate the Arabic language and enhance the presence of Arabic poetry in Africa. They serve as a platform for
showcasing classical Arabic poetry talents and a bridge of communication, within a comprehensive vision that promotes
Arabic culture and enhances its role in human development.
