LASG to document all tourists sites on Wikimedia, to Host Webinar on for Journalists
Nov. 13, 2024
The Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture has concluded plans to document all tourism sites across the State on Wikimedia, in partnership with the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria.
In furtherance of this goal, the Ministry, through a collaborative effort with a dedicated Wikimedia-in-Residence, has conducted a needs assessment covering the Ministry’s key activities across its various departments.
This assessment is designed to ensure that all tourism sites and cultural assets are accurately documented to meet international standards.
The next phase of this project will see the Ministry organising a contest among writers, encouraging participants to create outstanding articles on Lagos’s tourism sites.
The Ministry, alongside its partners, will also host a webinar on Thursday, 14th November at 3:00 p.m., targeted at journalists from newspapers and magazines across Nigeria.
A statement by the Honourable Commissioner for Tourism, Arts, and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka on Monday, said the webinar would feature a panel session with an esteemed lineup of experts.
The Commissioner, therefore, encouraged Nigerian journalists to join the important discourse and contribute to Lagos’s vision of promoting its cultural landmarks and attractions to the world by registering for the webinar via https://bit.ly/4f1EZPi.
