Commenting on the appointment, Akporiaye assured NANTA members and its stakeholders of continuity.

“I know there is a huge challenge to re-access our reach and physical engagement process in view of Covid 19 and the impact on global Travel. We are conscious of the pressure to rebound and gain an immediate foothold, yet we are determined to guide our members to follow established federal and states governments protocols on Covid 19 and practice safety and social distancing as recommended by health officials globally”.

She also assured that her appointment will bring about a new order of event in the organization and she assured stakeholders that NANTA is united and in safe hands.

Akporiaye stated; “We must admit that while we have global challenges brought on by COVID-19. We also do have some pertinent local challenges facing our members and their businesses, which we must confront and come up with effective strategies to address. In due course, the incoming executives shall engage and consult with all of you as stakeholders in order to establish and validate our priorities. I will then be articulating these priorities with strategies on how to move us forward”.
