By Grace Udofia

Abuja—Some delegates of the Presidential Amnesty programme have been honoured with the International Institute of Tourism and Hospitality, IITH, fellowship at the completion of their one month training in the institute.

A statement in Abuja, by Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Coordinator, Presidential Amnesty Programme, PAP, Gen. Paul Boroh (retd),  explained that the newly inducted fellows are the first set of delegates to conclude a month-long training at IITH in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.

The training explored the diverse opportunities in Nigeria’s tourism sector, while highlighting the nation’s rich cultural heritage as a solid base for fashion and catering businesses.

Boroh described the training as expansive enough to integrate key elements of Nigeria’s social environment as unique selling points for targeted small and medium scale enterprises in the hospitality industry.

He said, ‘’I am optimistic that the delegates would make remarkable contributions to the growth of the nation’s tourism and hospitality industry. I therefore, urge them to engage in activities that will help sharpen whatever skills they now possess and to put these skills to use in ways that will benefit them and society.

“I am also firm in support of young people who strive on their own to acquire skills in vocations that have bearing on subsistence.”

He advised the delegates to be worthy ambassadors of the amnesty programme and their families, stating that society expects much from them.
