At a press briefing in Lagos, the NANTA President, Bakole Bernard said speakers at the annual general meeting would be seasoned aviators and tourism experts selected to educate and dissect the theme of the gathering.
“Our annual general meeting in Kano promises to live up to our established protocols in terms of quality attendance and discussions on notable industry issues,” Bernanrd stated.
The guest speakers from within and from outside the country expected at the event include President, Aviation RoundTable (ART), Dr. Gbenga Olowo, President, UFTAA, Sunil Kumar, IATA Director of Global Distribution, Dr Susan Kostic, Chairman, Kenya Association of Travel Agents, Mohammed Wanyoike, Uganda Association of Travel Agents, Richard Mujjuzi, Vice Chairman Association of Travel Agencies, Nzaramba Jean Claude.
According to the NANTA president, this year’s annual general meeting would be a great departure from previous ones.
He assured that “this particular annual general meeting is going to be different a bit from the other annual general meetings that we have had in the sense that, in the past we have always revolved our annual general meetings around governmental institutions.
“We decided to take a different dimension into it to bring professionals, but not locally this time around but from the globe. We have the president of UFTAA who is going to be a key speaker; we have other presidents of associations in Africa that are going to come here.”
“Our annual general meetings both non-elective and the elective were carefully programmed as informative and insightful gatherings, discussing industry matters that must drive the process of immediate and future engagements.”
He emphasized that in the last four years, NANTA has built relationships with some key associations around the world that has positioned NANTA not as a local trade association, but a recognized trade association that is making an impact in Africa.
