Economic managers in the country have been tasked as a matter of urgency to address the high level of insecurity, as the situation poses a great threat to both local and foreign investments into the country.
Martina Njoku-Opara, chief executive officer, Sparklyn Hotels, stated this on the sidelines of the unveiling of Sparklyn Hotels and Suites in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
According to Opara, the hospitality industry and other sectors of the economy thrive in a safe environment, urging the Federal Government to find lasting solutions to the menace.
“Although there are challenges since the emergence of Covid 19, the hospitality industry is not immune to the virus just like every other sector. The government has to do more in terms of security to make people comfortable because the industry thrives when the economy is secured people can also feel safe to travel because if they feel unsafe, people won’t travel and the industry will suffer,” she said.
