As a way of developing interest in Tourism in Nigeria, Akwaaba being one of the biggest marketing platforms in Nigeria, is sponsoring the search for the 7 wonders of Nigeria titled Naija 7 Wonders, using its reach, goodwill and network to excite the Nigerian audience and build national pride.
After nine gruelling months of top level research by the expert group of the Seven Wonders project team, a shortlist of the Top 25 sites and events to see in Nigeria have been unveiled. Akwaaba along with Remlord tours and ATQ magazine commissioned the search and selected the committee members. This search serves as AFTM’s contribution to tourism development. Akwaaba is the only international travel fair in West Africa.
The top 25 sites will be presented with metal plaques for their nomination and announced to the Nigerian public who will be expected to narrow the selection down to 15 by March 2011. The voting will be by Short Messaging System (SMS) on all Nigerian GSM networks.
The top 7 will be presented on November 7th 2011 by 7pm at a national ceremony, organised by Akwaaba.
