The agreement followed a strategic meeting between the leadership of both organisations in Abuja on Wednesday, where they reaffirmed their commitment to closer collaboration and the professionalisation of Nigeria’s tourism, hospitality and travel sectors.

The National Committee on Industry Professional Bodies Recognition and Governance (NCIPBRG), chaired by Professor Wasiu A. Babalola, was inaugurated in Abuja by NIHOTOUR Director-General, Aare Abisoye Fagade. The committee has three months to submit its recommendations.

FTAN President, Dr Aliyu Ajayi Badaki, said the federation’s concern is to ensure that the NIHOTOUR Act 2022 and NTDA Act 2023 reflect the current realities of the tourism industry and protect the interests of operators, investors and other stakeholders.
