ABUJA/Nigeria: The grand opening of MNS Agency Travel and Tours Ltd took place on Thursday in Abuja, marking the debut of what is set to become Nigeria’s premier travel and tourism agency. The event attracted prominent dignitaries, including the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo SAN, and the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Hannatu Musa Musawa, both of whom were represented.
Speaking at the launch, the agency’s founder and CEO, Laila Charani-Nwoko, wife of Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko, shared her vision for MNS Agency. She emphasized the company’s commitment to excellence, customer satisfaction, and transforming travel experiences in Nigeria and beyond.
“Coming from Morocco, a country renowned for its thriving tourism sector, I have always understood the importance of structured and world-class travel services. Morocco’s tourism has flourished because of its commitment to hospitality, ease of travel, and diverse attractions. That same dedication is what we bring to Nigeria through MNS Agency. Our goal is not just to facilitate travel but to create unforgettable experiences that redefine how people explore the world,” she said.
In a bid to celebrate the launch, Laila announced an exclusive 20% discount on all flights for the first 50 bookings, reinforcing MNS Travel & Tours’ dedication to accessible and affordable travel.
Standing by her side was her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, a well-known advocate for tourism development and global exploration. Senator Nwoko, recognized for his adventurous spirit, spoke on the vast potential of Nigeria’s tourism sector.
“Morocco is one of the finest examples of a country that understands the value of tourism. The ease of travel, the preservation of culture, and the investment in tourism infrastructure make it a model for any nation aspiring to grow its hospitality sector. My first visit to Morocco was an eye-opener, and every time I return, I see new developments that make the experience even better. This is something Nigeria must learn from,” he said.
As a passionate explorer, Senator Nwoko holds the distinction of being the first Black man to visit the South Pole, Antarctica, a testament to his love for adventure. Speaking on the economic benefits of tourism, he highlighted its potential to boost employment, foster international partnerships, and reshape global perceptions.
“Tourism is one of the most powerful tools for national development. It creates employment, fosters international partnerships, and showcases a country’s heritage. When structured properly, it becomes an economic powerhouse. That is why I am excited about MNS Agency. It is not just another travel company—it is a movement towards redefining how Nigerians and Africans experience the world,” he stated.
