Director General, National Council
for Arts and Culture ( NCAC), is to organize a dinner party to honour and
appreciate the leadership of National Association of Nigeria Travel Agencies (
NANTA), for being the most peaceful, impactful hardworking industry trade group
in the country.
Runsewe insisted and reiterated that
that the forty seven years old industry Association has kept its head,
enthroned an effective succession plan devoid of bad blood and bitterness which
had led to the demise other similar trade groups in the industry, noting that
NANTA is the top flag bearer of the hope and expectations for Nigeria cultural
tourism sector.
He disclosed that the dinner
get-together will be held in Abuja, at a date which will be announced later and
will bear the trappings of Apex government cultural tourism organization , with
foreign diplomats and industry big wigs in Cultural Tourism, Aviation and the
Corporate world in attendance.
“We cannot pretend that nanta has
not made us proud. Indeed, the Association under the watch of Mrs Susan
Akporiaye has kept us on our toes, reached out in the most strategic manner and
connected to sharing the pictures of how government could join hands with the
private sector players to serve Nigerians well. Mrs Akporiaye and NANTA has
made us proud and deserve to be appreciated and celebrated”.
Throwing more light on his
perception of NANTA as a leading industry group, Runsewe paid glowing tribute
to the founders of the Association and urged other trade groups to eschew
bickerings in their affairs, remain focused and find ways and means to navigate
the process of inter government and private sector relationships to the gains
of the industry.
“I must also say I like what is
coming out of the Federation of Tourism Associations of Nigeria and very soon,
we at NCAC will join hands with its leadership to have a more enduring and
fruitful practical and beneficial relationship to the gains of the private
sector”.
It should be noted that the 47th
elective Annual General Meeting of nanta comes up in the ancient city of kano

aviation and cultural tourism in Nigeria, with opportunities for government and
the private sector organizations to showcase their services and products.
Mrs Akporiaye, will this week, inaugurate the NANTA 47th AGM planning committee in an urgent and earnest desire to make the event a world class outing.
