“This fraudulent practice will not be allowed to thrive under the See of Prof Chukwuma Soludo’s administration and therefore must be dealt with immediately,” the statement reads.

It said hotel revalidation forms would be distributed at the venue for all categories of hotels and tourism enterprises and that any hotel that was not profiled or without Hotel License would be closed down according to Anambra State Tourism and Hospitality Law.”
