The National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA) has honoured the Association of Nigerian Journalists and Writers of Tourism (ANJET) with a Special Recognition Award during its 50th anniversary Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Ibadan.
NANTA said the award was in recognition of ANJET’s contributions to the growth and development of the association and the wider travel and tourism industry in Nigeria.
Speaking while receiving the award, ANJET President, Okorie Uguru, expressed appreciation for the honour and congratulated NANTA on its golden jubilee celebration.
“ANJET and NANTA have come a long way. The relationship spans over 30 years, and we consider ourselves part of the NANTA family,” Uguru said.
He noted that past and present leaders of ANJET, including Tope-Awe, Frank Meke, Wale Ojo-Lanre, Andrew Okungbowa, Ikechi Uko and Jimoh Babatunde, among others, have played key roles in promoting NANTA’s activities over the years.
Uguru pledged that ANJET would continue to support NANTA and contribute to the advancement of Nigeria’s travel and tourism sector.
The three-day anniversary celebration featured a courtesy visit to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, presentations on travel and tourism business, and culminated in the election of new national executives and a gala night.
