Transcorp Hilton Hotels Abuja to Host 2025 NUJ FCT Press Week.
By Raymond Enoch
In the vibrant heart of Nigeria’s capital, Transcorp Hilton Abuja continues to redefine luxury hospitality—not just as a destination for travelers, but as a powerhouse of economic growth, innovation, and national pride.
The hotel is now poised to play a central role in Nigeria’s media and communications landscape. It has been officially announced as the host of the 2025 NUJ FCT Press Week, scheduled to commence on July 22, 2025. The high-profile event is expected to draw over 300 journalists, editors, and media professionals from across the country for a week of networking, workshops, and dialogue on the future of journalism.
This selection underscores Transcorp Hilton’s reputation not only for luxury but for providing world-class conference and event facilities. It continues to be the venue of choice for high-level government, diplomatic, and corporate functions.
The hotel’s upward trajectory reflects that of its parent company, Transcorp Hotels Plc, part of the larger Transcorp Group. In 2023, Transcorp Hotels Plc was the best-performing stock on the Nigerian Exchange, a milestone driven by strong corporate governance, investor confidence, and consistent financial performance.
This growth is far from coincidental—it’s part of a broader strategic vision to drive business excellence while deepening the company’s roots in the Nigerian economy.
With eyes on the future, Transcorp Hilton is currently constructing a 5,000-capacity event centre, set to become one of the largest and most advanced event venues in the country. This development is expected to significantly boost business tourism and reinforce Abuja’s status as a hub for conferences and international gatherings.
Meanwhile, the group is expanding its footprint with the upcoming launch of Transcorp Hotels Ikoyi in Lagos, adding another luxury landmark to Nigeria’s commercial capital.
Transcorp’s reach also extends into the digital space through Aura by Transcorp, a tech-driven hospitality platform that connects travelers with authentic local stays and experiences. Aura is democratizing tourism by empowering property owners, local hosts, and small business operators across Nigeria.
At Transcorp Hilton Abuja, every detail is designed to deliver excellence—from the famous Bukka buffet, which celebrates Nigerian cuisine, to the Pastry Corner, spa and wellness programs, and a 24-hour gym. Guests also benefit from unique services such as an in-house medical clinic, reflecting the hotel’s commitment to holistic hospitality.
The hotel’s operations are also deeply rooted in sustainability, with initiatives including hybrid energy systems, eco-friendly infrastructure, and the use of locally sourced food. This approach ensures not only environmental responsibility but direct support for local farmers and producers.
From tourism and media to infrastructure and investment, Transcorp Hilton Abuja continues to shape Nigeria’s growth narrative. It is a place where world-class service meets national ambition—a luxury icon driving the future of Nigerian hospitality.
As it prepares to welcome the country’s media leaders in 2025, the message is clear: Transcorp Hilton isn’t just keeping pace with Nigeria’s progress—it’s helping to lead the way.
