The National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA) Eastern Zone has ushered in a new era of leadership with the emergence of newly elected executive officers following a keenly observed and widely anticipated electoral process.

The Eastern Zone, one of NANTA’s most strategic and influential blocs, covers eleven key states — Rivers, Enugu, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Delta, Edo, Imo, and Abia.

The newly elected Eastern Zone Executive Officers are: Vice President: Mr. Ayoola Olatunji (Bereeth Travels and Tours, Port Harcourt), Secretary: Mrs. Chioma Obi (Jands Travel Network, Enugu), Treasurer: Mrs. Chinyere Ofoke (Gold Peggy’s Travels, Ebonyi), Financial Secretary: Mr. Emmanuel Okpako (Kikinuels Travels, Benin), Public Relations Officer: Mr. Ossai Emmanuel (Emios Holidays, Port Harcourt), and Internal Auditor: Mr. Martins Adebayo (TOC Travels, Benin).

The emergence of the executive members has been met with widespread enthusiasm among members and stakeholders, who see the new team as a blend of experience, credibility, and fresh energy poised to strengthen the association’s presence and impact across the Eastern Zone.

It was observed that the new executives will play a critical role in deepening collaboration among travel professionals, promoting ethical standards, enhancing business opportunities, and advancing the collective interests of NANTA members within the zone.

With the Eastern Zone serving as a major hub for travel trade activities in Nigeria, expectations are high that the new leadership will bring innovation, inclusiveness, and strategic direction to further position the zone as a powerhouse within the national body.
