NTDC to create 400,000 jobs Abuja - The Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) in Abuja yesterday said it would create over 400, 000 jobs in 10 years. The Director General, NTDC, Mrs. Sally Mbanefo, disclosed this while unveiling the strategic intent of rebuilding and growing the corporation tourism value chain for revenue generation and job creation. She said that the establishment of a nationwide travel hub would create a network of land and inland waterway travel hubs. “These hubs will redefine the concept of land and waterway travel, jetties and motor parks in the country. “We plan to establish one travel hub in each senatorial district under a franchise arrangement to create local small and medium enterprises. “The hub will also be established in each of the 774 local government areas in the country with a view to help in growing their revenue base. “Each travel hub will support 400 new jobs at each of the established points; therefore, the full scope is estimated to create over 350,000 jobs. “The hub will span across a three year period due to the trickle-down effect of economies of scale and scope.
