The meeting aimed to upscale the chapter’s activities, which had been dormant since several key leaders relocated from Abuja to pursue career advancement opportunities.

Other nominated officers include Capt. Emmanuel Lord’s Great (MITPM) as Secretary; Onofiok O. Ekong (MITPN) as Finance Officer; Yemi Owope (MITPN) as Membership Secretary; Abimbola Ogunlusi (FITPN) as Welfare Officer; and Florence O. Adedayo-Tayo as Publicity Officer.
In her acceptance speech, Dr. Fatimah Obadaki appreciated the confidence reposed in her by her colleagues and pledged not to fail the tourism family.
She emphasised the need for collaboration among committee members and the entire ITPN FCT Chapter to achieve success.
The National President also solicited the chapter’s readiness to host the forthcoming National Tourism Transportation Summit and Expo 2024, scheduled for December 3-4, 2024, at the M.K.O. Abiola National Stadium in Abuja. The chapter was offered a complimentary exhibition booth to promote its activities.
During a general discussion, members called for increased commitment to driving the chapter forward. To foster unity and rejuvenate the chapter, a reunion party has been planned for Friday, December 13, 2024, at 2 p.m. at Millennium Park.
Under Dr. Obadaki’s leadership, the ITPN FCT Chapter is poised for revitalization. It will focus on promoting tourism professionals and advancing the industry’s interests in the nation’s capital.
