The Nigerian Institute for Hospitality, Tourism Operators and Regulators is gearing up to launch its flagship event, the Oriki Gastronomy Festival, a vibrant celebration of Nigeria's diverse culinary traditions and cultural heritage.
The festival aims to honor the spirit of Nigerian royalty through exquisite food etiquette, captivating storytelling, and meaningful community interactions.
According to reporter Glory Agbor, a high-profile gathering in Abuja brought together leading tourism officials, media professionals, and passionate food lovers to unveil the festival's ambitious vision, key highlights, and anticipated boosts to Nigeria's tourism sector and economy.
A standout feature will be a bold Guinness World Record attempt for the longest dining table, accompanied by an opulent Nigerian royal banquet expected to host over 3,000 diners.
The Oriki Festival is scheduled to kick off on December 6, 2025, at Eagle Square in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, under the theme "Taste of Culture: A Royal Banquet Experience."
