Hotel employs 30 to reduce unemployment in Lagos

Procare Hotel and Suite, in Noforija, Epe Division, has employed no fewer than 30 new staff to tackle unemployment challenges amidst economic crisis.

The Managing Director of the hotel, Segun Osifeko, in a media interaction in Eredo-Epe on Friday, said that this development had become necessary to support the government employment initiative for the citizens.

“This bold initiative underscores the hotel’s commitment to empowering local communities by creating meaningful job opportunities,” he said.

He said that the recruited staff were professionals in hospitality management, culinary arts, housekeepers, bakers, bar manager, front desk operations, and facility maintenance.

According to him, the recruitment drive was not only designed to strengthen service delivery but also to contribute to the socio-economic development of the host community.

He said that most of the new staff were indigenes of Epe Division and businesses must rise to the occasion in providing sustainable solutions to societal challenges.

“We recognise that unemployment remains one of the biggest issues in our society today.

“By expanding our workforce, we are not only enhancing our services but also providing livelihoods and restoring dignity to hardworking individuals,” he added.

He said that this effort aligns with broader national objectives to stimulate economic growth through the private sector.

Osifeko urged hospitality and tourism owners to emulate this kind of gesture to drive inclusive economic development.

He reaffirmed his commitment to sustaining this employment strategy and hinted at further expansion plans that could create even more job openings in the near future. (NAN)
