FCCPC, NTDA align on service standards to drive tourism growth

By Progress Godfrey

The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) and the Nigerian Tourism Development Authority (NTDA) have pledged to work together to protect consumers, raise service standards, and boost sustainable tourism in Nigeria.

This commitment was reinforced when NTDA Director General, Dr Ola Awakan, paid a courtesy visit to FCCPC Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Tunji Bello, at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja, according to a statement by the consumer protection agency on Wednesday.

Welcoming the delegation, Bello emphasised that tourism is vital for Nigeria’s economic diversification and called for a strong tourism culture to unlock the sector’s full potential.

He noted that while tourism falls under both federal and state responsibilities, the NTDA must provide strategic direction and set standards to build confidence for domestic and international visitors.

“The experience tourists receive upon arrival and throughout their stay determines whether they will return and whether they will recommend Nigeria to others. Every stakeholder must therefore play a role in creating a welcoming and efficient tourism ecosystem,” he said.
