The Deputy House Committee Chairman on Tourism and Member Representing Bassa/Jos North Federal Constituency, Hon. AMB. Daniel Asama Ago,
has sponsored two new Establishment Bills:
1. Chartered Institute for Tourism and Hospitality of Nigeria (Establishment) Bill, 2025 (HB.2009) – First Reading.*
*2. Council for the Regulation of Travel and Tour Management Companies of Nigeria (Establishment) Bill, 2025 (HB.2008) – First Reading.*
These bills, which have successfully passed their First Reading at the National Assembly, aim to establish a comprehensive Legal framework to regulate the diverse and expanding activities of the Tourism and Hospitality Sector. This initiative seeks to address long-standing regulatory gaps by introducing standards and best practices to empower Stakeholders and enhance professional competence.
When fully passed and assented to by the National Assembly and the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, these bills will transform the Tourism Sector, fostering Sustainable Development and ensuring the industry contributes significantly to Nigeria's economic diversification and growth.
Hon. Asama's Legislative intervention aligns with his broader vision of revitalizing Plateau State- famously known as the "Home of Peace and Tourism." His efforts aim to reposition the State as a major Tourism Hub, boosting local businesses, creating employment opportunities, and enhancing cultural exchange.
This bold Legislative push reflects Hon. Asama's dedication to ensuring Plateau State reclaims its place as a leading Tourist destination. With his continuous efforts and the collaborative support of the Government, Plateau State is poised to experience a new era of economic opportunities and cultural resurgence.
