The Chief Executive Officer, Sparklyn Hotels, Dr. Martina Njoku-Opara, has tasked economic managers to as a matter of urgency address the high level of insecurity in the country, noting that the situation poses great threat to both local and foreign investments into the country.
Opara stated this on the sidelines of the unveiling of Sparklyn Hotels and Suites in Lekki area of Lagos.
According to her, the hospitality industry and other sectors of the economy thrives 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, but 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.
She added: “The government also generates lots of revenue from the industry. We need the government to look into that area.”
About the grand opening, she said the hotel is a five star hotel coming in a package of a boutique hotel which offers five star services.
