As part of its transition from a training institute to a regulatory authority, director-general/CEO of the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR) Dr Abisoye Fagade has launched a series of strategic engagements with key government agencies.
A statement made available to QEDNG states that the visits are aimed at fostering collaboration, enhancing industry standards, and strengthening NIHOTOUR’s regulatory framework for Nigeria’s hospitality, travel and tourism sectors.
So far, Dr. Fagade has held discussions with top officials, including executive chairman of the Lagos Internal Revenue Service (LIRS) Ayodele Subair, director-general of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye and registrar-general of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) Hussaini Magaji, SAN.
The meetings, according to NIHOTOUR are focused on building strategic partnerships to ensure compliance, professional certification, and improved service delivery within the travel, tourism and hospitality industries.
“Our vision is clear—to build a robust, well-regulated travel, hospitality, and tourism sector that meets global standards. This transition requires strong collaboration with key agencies to align our training, certification, and regulatory frameworks with international best practices, Fagade stated.
With plans to engage more agencies, NIHOTOUR remains committed to promoting excellence, innovation, and sustainable growth in Nigeria’s travel, hospitality and tourism industry.
