Committed to giving back to the community, the company also operates the Hotwire Foundation. The foundation presently runs an Eye Care Reach-Out program in Ondo State, Nigeria, for indigent patients.

An innovator in the tourism and entertainment sector, the company serves over 20,000 customers and employs around 200 people in the greater Abuja area. HWP’s strength lies in its partnerships, some of which include GDN LVMH(Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), British American tobacco, and Trace Nigeria.”
