Shakira Olagunju, a student at Landover Aviation Business School (LABS) in Lagos, has achieved the remarkable feat of being named the Overall Best Performer in Nigeria for the March 2025 diet of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Foundation in Travel and Tourism with Amadeus Course.

This outstanding achievement marks the 10th time a LABS student has earned the prestigious IATA Best Performer title since 2012.

Mrs. Aanu Benson, Chief Administrative Officer of Landover Company, expressed her delight, stating, "We are ecstatic to see our student’s hard work and dedication pay off. This excellent result is a testament to our team’s dedication to nurturing talent and our commitment to excellence in aviation training." She extended heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Olagunju, recognizing her achievement as "a shining example of what can be accomplished with hard work and dedication."

Mr. Julian Chibuzor, Training and Operations Manager at LABS, added, "This achievement adds another brilliant chapter to the already impressive legacy of LABS. Since its inception in 2002, LABS has consistently demonstrated its commitment to producing top-tier aviation professionals, and this remarkable streak underscores the unwavering quality of education offered by LABS."

An elated Olagunju shared her sentiments, saying, "I am truly honoured to have been able to set a high standard for future students. I am grateful to my God, my family, and LABS for the achievement of this feat. Having previously completed my Basic Airfares and Ticketing Course at LABS in 2012, I knew it was ideal for me to return to LABS for the IATA Foundation in Travel and Tourism with Amadeus Course. My success today is attributed to the comprehensive training and support provided by my instructors at LABS during and after the training period."

With its consistent production of top-performing graduates, LABS has solidified its position as a leading institution in shaping the future of aviation manpower development in Nigeria and Africa. The school's alumni hold prominent positions within the aviation industry across Nigeria and West Africa.
