Hajia Bolaji Mustapha is set to run her second term in office as President after being elected unopposed as President of the National Association of Nigeria Tour Operators, NATOP, at the Association’s Annual General Meeting held last week at the Remi Tinubu Hall, Alausa, Ikeja.
The AGM marked a historic moment for NATOP as Hajia Mustapha highlighted key achievements from her first term, including the acquisition of the Association’s first National Headquarters in Lagos, significant growth in membership, increased national visibility, and renewed investor confidence in Nigeria as a tourism destination.
The event was attended by notable industry leaders including Air Peace Founder, Allen Onyema, and Director General of NIHOTOUR, Aare Abisoye Fagade. Representatives of the Nigeria Immigration Service, DSS, and the Nigeria Police were also present, reaffirming the link between security and safe tourism promotion.
In her acceptance speech, Hajia Mustapha thanked members for their support and pledged to take NATOP’s mandate across Nigeria. “NATOP is not about me. It’s about our people, our culture, and putting Nigeria back on the global tourism map,” she stated.
She also acknowledged the support of BOT Chairman, Nkereuwem Onung, Engr. Sarat Braimah of NIWA, and the Lagos State Commissioner for Tourism and Culture, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka, Dr Gani Tarzan Balogun, Damilola Emmanuel, Hon Henry Olaoluwa Onifade and Tope Fajemirokun.
