He said that hotels that are not registered with the national body will face the consequences of such actions alone.
“We will protect your hotel and your interest in case anything happens to you as a registered member of the Nigeria Hotel Association,” he said.
He urged members to uphold the spirit of fairness, transparency and shared responsibility, to also embrace the gospel of unity and look beyond personal interests and focus on the collective good of the association.
