Hotel restates need for staff registration

Hotel managers under the aegis of Hotel Owners and Hotel Forum of Abuja and Hotel Personnel Staff Employee Association reiterated that the implementation of a biometric registration for staff will help to curb criminal activates.

 

 

The groups said this in a statement by the President, HOFA, Mr.  Onofiok Ekong, and General Secretary, David Alozie, on Tuesday.

The statement faulted the position of a section of hotel workers under the aegis of National Union of Hotels and Personnel Services workers rejecting the proposed biometric registration of hotel workers across the country by the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation.

The statement read in part, “As owners of hotels and hospitality establishments, we held several meetings NTDC as stakeholders under HOFA, HOPSEA.  Arising from these meetings, we collectively resolved that the biometric registration of hotel workers for security and staff tracking purposes was not only urgently desirable but also imperative.

“Introducing biometric registration of workers would enable us to curb and eventually stamp out rampant cases of fraud and criminal activities among the workers.  We cannot allow this ugly trend to continue unabated.”
