The former Minister of State for Petroleum described the event as beautiful sights and sounds from this year’s Okpoama International Beach Carnival.

He said: “The best of our country’s musical talents performed and enjoyed the ambience of Brass Island”, he said.

“Indigenous musical prospects were given the chance to perform alongside Internationally recognized stars in a deliberate act of raising their stock.

“Ultimately, the dream of making Okpoama a proper globally recognized tourism destination is in sight”.

Okpoama International Beach Carnival has always paraded top musical and comic artistes yearly and attracted multitude of tourists from within and outside the state.

In the time past, Timaya, Davido, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage are among the top artistes that identified with and thrilled visitors at previous events.
