“Once guests get good service, they will come back; these are my target to bring back Imo Concorde to its past glory and be able to compete with other five-star hotels within and outside the country.
“We have a good team that will look into feedbacks from guests on what they feel, and what needs to be done to improve the place in other to return it to its former glory.
