Abuja, Sept. 14, 2016 (NAN) Mr Aliyu Badaki, the national President, Hospitality and Tourism Management Association of Nigeria (HATMAN) says that the association’s effort in enhancing professionalism in the sector is beginning to yield results.
Badaki made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.
“We have facilitated the regularisation of hospitality, tourism and other related courses in institutions of higher learning in the country.
“We usually partner with the National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism to train workers in the sector.
“These have yielded results as the people trained now possess the ability to render quality services to clients in the industry.
“When you visit top hotels in Abuja, Lagos, Kaduna, Port Harcour and others, you will notice the good quality of services rendered by those we trained,’’ Dadaki said.
The HATMAN president explained that the manpower training by the association was done for workers in the different zones of the country.
He also said that the association had a biannual journal of international standard to educate practitioners and stakeholders in the sectors to enhance professionalism.
“We also create opportunity for students during our annual conference to enhance their knowledge on hospitality and tourism.’’ (NAN)
