President Muhammadu Buhari has signed the ‘Establishment Bill’ of the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR) into law.

This is contained in a statement by Mr Joesef Karim, Special Assistant (Technical) to the Director General of NIHOTOUR, Alhaji Sani Kangiwa, and issued to our correspondent on Monday in Abuja.

The act established the institute for training, certification and registration of hospitality, travels and tourism personnel in Nigeria.

It was reported that NIHOTOUR is a parastatal agency under the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, engaged in training, consultancy, research and publications towards promoting skills and entrepreneurship.

The institute has played a pivotal role in building an entrepreneurial ecosystem, not only in Nigeria, but in other countries through international training and development programmes.
