FCM Nigeria was named Nigeria’s Leading Travel Management Company—a title often referred to in industry circles as the equivalent of winning an “Oscar” in travel.
It was a defining moment for Nigeria’s travel industry.
Receiving the award on behalf of the organisation, Bankole Bernard, Group Managing Director of Finchglow Holdings, said: “This award represents far more than recognition, it’s a powerful validation that our unwavering commitment to innovation and customer‑centric service resonates on a global scale. It stands as a reminder of the values we uphold and the tireless effort of our incredible team. This recognition reinforces our determination to continue pushing boundaries and setting new industry benchmarks.”
At the core of FCM Nigeria’s vision is the belief that corporate travel should be seamless, strategic, and scalable.
This belief has driven the company to rethink traditional travel services and instead offer customised solutions that anticipate client needs before they are even voiced.
Adejoju Olutimayin, Managing Director of FCM Nigeria, attributed the company’s success to its people and partners: “This award is a testament to the exceptional dedication of our team and the strategic partnerships that have enabled us to thrive. We understand that recognition of this magnitude brings with it increased responsibility and heightened expectations. However, we view it as a launch to propel us towards even more ambitious goals.”
This award represents far more than recognition, it’s a powerful validation that our unwavering commitment to innovation and customer‑centric service resonates on a global scale.
He added: “We are actively building toward a future where FCM Nigeria serves as the definitive standard for travel management excellence, not only in Nigeria but across the African continent and beyond.”
The team’s response to industry disruptions—from the COVID-19 pandemic to volatile global markets—has been proactive and strategic.
Rather than scaling back, FCM doubled down on technology, expanding its digital capabilities and refining its service offerings.
With corporate clients across Nigeria and growing partnerships on the continent, FCM Nigeria is part of a new class of African businesses that are exporting expertise, not just consuming it.
Its success reflects a broader narrative of African companies rising not just to meet global standards but to set them.
As travel rebounds and businesses re-engage global markets, the demand for smart, reliable travel management has never been higher.
FCM Nigeria, now globally recognised, seems more than ready to lead the charge.

Back at the awards ceremony in Tanzania, surrounded by leaders from across the continent, Bernard’s words resonated with both pride and purpose: “It is a privilege to be acknowledged on such a prestigious platform, and it energises us to maintain our trajectory of excellence and to continue delivering top-tier services that exceed client expectations.”
