Lagos — The FIFA Under-17 World Youth Championship currently holding in the country was boosted further with the presentation to the public of a magazine called Experience Nigeria; Guide to Host Cities of the U-17 FIFA World Youth Championship.

According to the publishers, "the World Cup presents an opportunity to showcase to the

world Nigeria's people, vast culture, rich history, enviable heritage and tourism. We have decided to publish for the records a collector's item, a one off brochure to showcase the endless tourism potentials of our great country."

The twenty four-page magazine takes readers on an extensive tour of the eight venues hosting the 24 teams that are participating in the tournament. There's an interview with the first FIFA U-16 World Youth Championship winning coach, Mr. Sebasten Broderick-Imasuen. There are other interviews with former Chairman of Nigeria Football Association (now NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima; Hon. Shehu Adamu, an LOC member and Ogun State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Hon. Bukola Olopade.

In the words of Peter Osamgbi, Managing Editor of the magazine; "many Nigerian elite and middle class travel abroad for holiday and in the process deny our country the opportunity to retain hard earned foreign exchange; just to catch a glimpse of tourist sites that lack the candour and excitement that our nation has been bestowed with. Nigeria is such a big country that no one individual can claim to know every bit and piece of this puzzle of a country. This is why we urge you to be part of this experience."
