Speaking with journalists in Abuja, Obiukwu said: “Bolton White Group is committed to setting new standards in hospitality, and this convention center will be a testament to our dedication to elevating the art of hosting.”
“The impact of a modern convention center, especially when it’s an extension of a luxury hotel like the Johnwood Hotel, can be significant for both the hospitality and tourism industries in Nigeria and on a global scale.
“A modern convention center can attract a large number of business travelers, delegates, and tourists from around the world. Nigeria’s tourism industry may see an uptick as more people visit the country to attend conferences, conventions, and events hosted at the center.
