President of the Federation of Tourism Associations of Nigeria (FTAN), Dr. Aliyu Badaki, has said that the structural challenges of Nigeria’s tourism industry are being tackled by his administration through Tourism Transformation Mandate (TTM).

Badaki, who disclosed this in Lagos during a press conference, said he is marking one year in office with a renewed commitment to repositioning tourism as a strategic driver of national economic growth, investment, job creation and regional integration.

According to him, “the past year has not been viewed merely as a period for recording achievements, but as an opportunity to honestly diagnose the long-standing structural challenges that have constrained the growth of Nigeria’s tourism industry and begin implementing practical, sustainable solutions through the Tourism Transformation Mandate (TTM).
