Buhari signs NIHOTOUR bill into law
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 Joesef Karim, special assistant (technical) to the director general of NIHOTOUR, Sani Kangiwa, on Monday in Abuja.
The act established the institute for training, certification and registration of hospitality, travel and tourism personnel in Nigeria.
NIHOTOUR is a parastatal agency under the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, engaged in training, consultancy, research and publications promoting skills and entrepreneurship.
The institute has played a pivotal role in building an entrepreneurial ecosystem in Nigeria and other countries through international training and development programmes.
