The official grand opening of MNS AGENCY TRAVEL AND TOURS LTD took place on Thursday in Abuja, marking the launch of what is poised to become the premier travel and tourism agency in Nigeria.
The event drew an impressive lineup of dignitaries, including the Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo SAN, and the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Hannatu Musa Musawa, both of whom were ably represented.
Speaking at the event, the agency’s visionary founder and CEO, Laila Charani-Nwoko, wife of Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko, shared the inspiration behind the establishment of MNS Agency. She emphasized the agency’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 grown consistently over the years 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.
Laila also made an exciting announcement at the event: MNS Travel & Tours is offering a 20% discount on all flights for the first 50 bookings. This initiative is part of the agency’s commitment to providing accessible and affordable travel options for all customers.
Standing firmly by her side was her ever-supportive husband, Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko, a man whose passion for travel and exploration has earned him global recognition. Senator Nwoko, known for his adventurous spirit and commitment to tourism development, took the stage to share his thoughts on the industry’s immense potential.
“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 Ned Nwoko holds a unique place in history as the first Black man to visit the South Pole, Antarctica, a testament to his love for adventure and discovery. Speaking on the beauty of tourism, he emphasized its ability to boost economies, promote cultural exchange, 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 remarked.
