Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation reject proposed tourism bill

    Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation, NTDC, and other stakeholders in the tourism sector has rejected the proposed `Tourism Bill` currently before the National Assembly, NASS.

     The bill titled, “The NIHOTOUR Bill’’ sent to NASS by the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism, NIHOTOUR,  would hold on the 15^th of  June, 2017.
Director-General of NTDC,  Folorunsho Coker, told newsmen today in lagos that NIHOTOUR would be going beyond the mandate for which it was established if the bill is passed into law by NASS.
     Folarin-Coker said that the country’s tertiary institutions should be allowed to establish departments that would be training personnel in tourism.
    He said that encouraging several tertiary institutions to be part of it would enhance the ease of doing business as enunciated by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo recently.
