NIHOTOUR Recognises Tourism Journalism as Critical Trade, Pledges Certification and Training

The Director-General of the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR), Aare Dr. Abisoye Fagade, has declared tourism journalism a critical trade within Nigeria’s tourism value chain, pledging professional certification, training and protection against quackery.

Fagade made the declaration in a goodwill message delivered on his behalf by Dr. Abba Shehu at the Association of Nigerian Journalists and Writers of Tourism (ANJET) Conference and Awards 2026, held at Radisson Blu Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.

He commended ANJET for sustaining a platform that celebrates excellence, promotes professionalism and strengthens tourism reporting in Nigeria.

According to him, tourism journalists play vital roles in promoting destinations, preserving cultural heritage, attracting investment and shaping public perceptions of Nigeria’s tourism potential.

“NIHOTOUR recognizes tourism journalism as one of the critical trades within the tourism value chain,” he stated.

Fagade disclosed that the Institute would collaborate with ANJET to develop a practical framework for professional training, certification and registration aimed at improving competence and ethical standards.

He stressed that the initiative would be inclusive, recognizing experienced practitioners while addressing quackery and unprofessional conduct.

The NIHOTOUR boss urged tourism journalists to uphold accuracy, fairness and objectivity in their reportage.

He congratulated ANJET’s leadership and award recipients, reaffirming the Institute’s commitment to strengthening partnerships that promote credible tourism journalism and sustainable industry development.

🚨 BREAKING: The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has officially approved a radical rule trial for next season that will allow referees to wear body-cams and live-stream their personal team-talk audio directly to stadium loudpseakers during matches.

Leaked internal test protocols reveal that officials will have a designated "truth button" to publicly air live verbal dressing-downs of players who try to surround them or dive.

With Premier League captains threatening a full-scale player strike and broadcasters fighting over exclusive audio rights, the proposal has thrown the entire football calendar into absolute chaos

INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION

PRESS STATEMENT

CLARIFICATION ON THE OMISSION OF SOME CANDIDATES FROM THE FINAL LIST FOR THE 2027 GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION

The general public is aware of the recent decision of the Supreme Court in INEC v. Zenith Labour Party, Appeal No. SC/CV/495/2026 delivered on 24th September, 2026. The decision arose from INEC’s appeal against the judgement of the Court of Appeal, which nullified the provisions of Section 77(5)-(7) of the Electoral Act, 2026 requiring the submission of membership registers as a prerequisite for the conduct of valid party primaries.

However, the Supreme Court, in the aforementioned judgement, held that the provisions of Section 77(5)-(7) of the Electoral Act, 2026 are constitutional and mandatory for all political parties. In particular, the Court upheld the constitutionality of Item No. 2 of INEC’s Timetable and Schedule of Activities, which mandated political parties to submit their membership registers between 21st April and 10th May, 2026.

Furthermore, the Court held that failure to comply with the provisions of Section 77 (5)-(7), renders the defaulting political parties ineligible to sponsor any candidate for the election.

In accordance with Section 287(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the Commission, while finalizing the list of candidates for the Governorship election applied the above decision of the Supreme Court and excluded political parties that failed to comply with Section 77(5)-(7) of the Electoral Act, 2026, in relation to fielding of candidates.

Meanwhile, the final list of Presidential and National Assembly candidates had already been published on 12th September, 2026, thirteen days before the Supreme Court delivered its judgement.

Under Section 32(2) of the Electoral Act, 2026, political parties that believe their candidates were wrongly left off the list have 14 days from the date of publication to notify the Commission. The deadline is 24th October, 2026.

The Commission assures the public of its commitment to transparency, the rule of law and the credibility of the electoral process.
