The Director General of the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism (NIHOTOUR), Nura Sani Kangiwa promised training support for institutions in Nigeria.
According to a statement signed and issued by Director Press, Media &Public Relations, Ahmed Sule, said Kagiwa reiterated the commitment when he received the Vice Chancellor of the University of Mkar, Gboko – Benue State, Prof. Zacharys Anger Gundu who paid him a courtesy visit at the headquarters in Abuja recently.
He said the Institute is partnering with institutions across the country for training and capacity development of professional practices in the Travel-Tourism and Hospitality sector of the country.
He refuted insinuations in some quarters that partnership between NIHOTOUR and the Institute for Tourism Professionals of Nigeria (ITPN) to include registration, licensing and certification of professional practices in the industry as untrue and a misrepresentation of what the partnership entails.
He noted that the partnership is a healthy one meant to train NIHOTOUR staff in its campuses across the country.
In his remarks during the visit, Prof. Zacharys Anger Gundu, Vice Chancellor of University of Mkar, said the need for the University to have a vibrant Travel Tourism and Hospitality Department necessitated the partnership with NIHOTOUR, saying that the visit was to consolidate on the Memorandum of Understanding between the University and the Institute.
