It was a night of glitz and a stroll into the past as the Federation Tourism Associations Nigeria (FTAN) honored its pioneer members and past leaders with tourism merit awards. The federation equally honoured certain individuals that have made immense contributions to the development of Nigerian tourism.
The award recipients include Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture and the supervisory minister for tourism; Otunba Segun Runsewe, the Director General, National Council of Arts and Culture; Chief Mike Amachree (Nigeria’s Father of Tourism), Mr. Goodie Ibru; Chief Samuel Alabi, BOT Chairman, FTAN, High Chief Edem Duke; Dr. Franklin Adejuwon; Alhaji Munzali Dantata; Chief Josephine Anenih; Chief Margaret Fabiyi (Webisco), Mrs. Theresa Ojo; Alhaji Inuwa Wada; Mr. Tukur Mani; Mr. Charles Ukomadu; Mr. Charles Abel, Mr. Tope Ogbeni-Awe; Mr. Ikechi Uko, Mr. Andrew Iro-Okungbowa; Mr. Lucky George
Speaking at the occasion, the FTAN President, Alhaji Rabo Saleh said: “The idea behind this celebration is to appreciate and honour men and women of proven integrity who have labored so hard to see that the tourism sector and the practitioners in the industry under different associations come together under the umbrella and speak with one voice for the betterment of the industry.”
He said the 20th anniversary was milestone in the existence of the association. He said the federation which kicked off with about 10 member-associations, has grown to about 22 registered professional associations in the different sub-sectors of the tourism industry which include: tour operation, aviation, hospitality, transportation and others.
Also speaking at the occasion, former president of the Association of Tourism Practitioners of Nigeria (ATPN) and Nigeria’s Father of Tourism, Chief Mike Amachree commended the organizers of the awards and gala nite for the gesture and said it would encourage practitioners to do more for the industry.
His words: “The award today reminds me of how Rivers State Government, in 2017, gave awards to Nigerians who have major contributions to the development of Rivers State. By the grace of God, your Chief Mike Amachree was among those honoured by state government under Governor Nyesom Wike for my achievements in area tourism development and promotion in the state.
This tourism awards in Lagos today, February 27, 2018 by FTAN is capable of spurring our practitioners to source more tourists from Europe, America, Asia and Africa to Nigeria and improve on domestic tourism. This will increase our foreign exchange earnings, boost domestic trade, industrialize and provide employment for the masses.
Tourism development and promotion business is entirely a private sector affair. The area where government comes in is to provide the enabling environment for the private sector to operate, to encourage the private operators in the form of providing land, finance and electricity.
In the area of tourism financing, the private sector under my leadership in 1990 paid a courtesy visit to the former president, General Ibrahim Babangida at Aso-Rock to discuss the establishment of tourism development bank, which will provide low bank interest rate to operators. President Babangida approved the establishment of the Tourism Development Bank and instructed the Central Bank Nigeria (CBN) to take immediate action but the action was not completed until General Babangida left office.
Furthermore, the Association of Tourism Practitioners of Nigeria (ATPN) under my leadership collaborated with Plateau State government 1990 to organized the Plateau State Tourism Development Fund Launching which was chaired by a former head of state, General Yakubu Gowon and launched by former President Ibrahim Babangida who invited all the state military governors to Plateau State to launch the fund.”
Also speaking at the occasion, one of the awardees and former Minister of State for Agriculture, Dr. Franklin Adejuwon also praised FTAN Council for organizing the awards night. He went down memory lane to talk about the formation of the FTAN and the reasons behinds the formation. He also used to opportunity to praise the roles played individuals like Mr. Tukur Mani, Mr. Tope Ogbeni-Awe, Mrs. Theresa Ojo to realize the dream.
The NCAC director general and also an award recipient also commended the efforts of FTAN and advised them to eschew rancor and work in unity. He said it was the only way to move the industry forward.
