Since taking over the reins of leadership at the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR), Aare (Dr) Bisoye Fagade has been working round the clock to take the institute to greater and new heights.
Fagade kicked off his plans with wide consultations before settling down to the job he’s been tasked with by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Under Fagade’s leadership, the NIHOTOUR has officially commenced a rigorous compliance exercise across Lagos State, focusing on hotels, restaurants, and other establishments within the hospitality, travel, and tourism sectors in furtherance of the institute’s statutory mandate to standardise and regulate professional practices within the industry nationwide.
The compliance drive seeks to ensure that all personnel, practitioners, and operators within the sector are duly certified and registered with NIHOTOUR, in accordance with the NIHOTOUR Establishment Act 2022.
As part of the exercise, several leading establishments were visited and top hospitality outfits including Marriott Hotel, The Sojourner, Radisson Blu, Black Diamond, and FourPoints by Sheraton have all commenced the process of registration and certification, in line with regulatory expectations.
This compliance drive reinforces NIHOTOUR’s unwavering commitment to repositioning the Nigerian hospitality, travel, and tourism sectors as key pillars of national development under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
