NTDC Begins Inspection of Hotels in Abuja

The Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) has begun an inspection of hotels and other tourism enterprises in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and its environs.

The Director General of NTDC, Mrs. Sally Mbanefo, made this known to newsmen at weekend in Abuja. She said the exercise, which will eventually be carried out across the country, was informed by the need to assess the standards and quality of hospitality outfits in terms of service delivery.

Mrs. Mbanefo said the NTDC, as the apex hospitality agency in the country, is charged with the responsibility of ensuring efficient and effective services for all tourists, both domestic and foreign.

The exercise, she added, will avail the federal government the opportunity to ensure that facilities and operations of hospitality and other tourism establishments conform to international best standards.
