The hotel has been shut since September 7 for violating the ethics of hotel practices in the Anambra Hotel and Hospitality Law 2016.
The government of Anambra state has lifted the suspension placed on the hotel where a pool s3x party took place last month.
The hotel has been shut since September 7 for violating the ethics of hotel practices in the Anambra Hotel and Hospitality Law 2016.
Announcing the reopening of the hotel, the commissioner of tourism and entertainment Don Onyenji said on Monday that Anambra is a decent state where the government would not allow such to happen again.
“The hotel has been given a clean bill of health to operate after a thorough investigation, reassessment and passing all the regulatory standards for getting an operating licence,” he said.
Onyenji said two suspects believed to be part of those who organised the party where the viral video was shot are being prosecuted.
He added that the principal organiser is still on the run.
Onyenji urged hoteliers to always get full disclosure of the nature of activities from clients and monitor them to ensure that they did not use their facilities for unwholesome programmes.
He said the regulatory framework for the tourism and hospitality industry has been strengthened and would be diligently enforced to ensure there is sanity while at the same time, encouraging growth.
The commissioner assured that an investigation had been conducted on the hotel and all other certification procedures concluded.
“After due consideration of the report of inspectors and following its high level of compliance, the ministry hereby lifts the ban on the hotel temporarily.
“The hotel is urged to be of good conduct; not to violate the ethics of hotel practices as contained in the Anambra Hotel and Hospitality Law 2016 and to guide its staff accordingly,” Onyenji said.
