The Conservator-General, National Park Service, Dr. Ibrahim Musa Goni has been inducted into Tourism 100 Club, Nigeria.

The induction was done during the 7th Abuja Jabamah 2019 annual ceremony held on 18, November, at the expo ground of the National Council of Arts and Culture, Abuja where a certificate of membership was issued to the Conservator General.

In his remarks, Managing Director of the Event, Kelechi Uko said Dr Goni was given the certificate of induction in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the development of the travel and tourism industry in Nigeria.

He commended the CG for the feat and assured him of the support of the organizers to promote the National Park Service to enviable heights in tourism across the globe.

Uko said this year’s event was tagged Jabamah, which means ‘You are welcome’ in Fulani language, to create a network for publicising and appreciating the immense contribution of some individuals to the tourism industry in Nigeria. The event was last held at Calabar as AKWAABA.

He said this year’s ”Jabamah” was organised to among other things induct the Tourism 100 Club (class of 2019) whose responsibility is to recognise individuals who have distinguished themselves as foremost and outstanding drivers in the travel and tourism industry in Nigeria.

Responding, the CG thanked the organisers for finding him fit to be a member of the Club and assured that National Park Service will always support them in lifting tourism in Nigeria.

Dr Goni expressed optimism that the partnership will yield positive mutual dividends for both the Service and the organisers requesting that the next edition holds next year in one of the parks in the Country.

He, however, dedicated his award of membership of the Club to Hajia Bilkisu Abdul, the CEO BBOOG TRAVEL and TOURS as well as the National President of Nigeria Association of Tour Operators (NATOP) while commending her for introducing him to this tourism movement in Nigeria.
