Executive Director, Lagos International Trade Fair Complex, Vera Ndanusa has stated that the forthcoming Lagos International Trade Fair will attract over one hundred thousand visitors across the globe.
The executive director said the foreign and local investors that will participate at the Fair will boost the economy of the country and Lagos State in particular.
Ndanusa disclosed this at the relaunch of the Fair in Lagos which was coming 14 years after it was halted due to lack of strong political will to hold the annual exhibitions at the Complex arena.
According to Ndanusa: “This year’s trade fair will attract over one hundred thousand visitors, within and outside the country and the gathering will in no doubt boost the economy of the nation. Participants are drawn from business leaders, industry professionals, and consumers from all over the world.
“Attendees will have the opportunity to explore a vast array of products, from consumer goods to industrial equipment, and engage with global exhibitors”.
She said the event will also feature seminars, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to foster business connections and spur economic growth in Nigeria and beyond.
“The objective of the Fair will showcase the latest industry innovations, foster networking and partnerships, as well as provide a platform for businesses to connect with potential customers, investors, and industry experts.
“With this relaunch, the management aims to reinforce Lagos status as a major commercial hub in Africa, significantly contributing to Nigeria’s economic growth, create job opportunities, and boost exports”, Ndanusa added.
The relaunch which was hosted by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Doris Nkiruka Uzoka-Anite, said the aim was to reposition the Complex as an alternative revenue generation for the federal government rather than oil.
The Minister represented by the Director Special Duties, Federal Ministry, Trade investments and Commerce, Dr Simon Omo – Ezomo, said efforts to sustain the heights already achieved by the ministry in adding colours to the Complex will be put in place by the federal government.
On his part, the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, commended Ndanusa for reviving the Fair after 14 years of discontinuity.
The Governor said the State government will continue to play a good host to ensure that the federal government achieves its objective of setting up the Trade Fair Complex.
Sanwo-Olu who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, however, commended the efforts of the Fair Management Board for bringing back the popular trade fair after over a decade.
Also speaking, a House of Representative member, representing Lere Constituency of Kaduna State, Ahmed Munir, said the aim of the government is to provide a suitable working environment for businesses to thrive at the Complex.
Munir, who is also the Chairman House Committee on Commerce, said the Fair is sitting on a gold mine which only requires basic amenities to succeed more and generates more revenue for the government.
He said amenities like good road network, power, security, others are the responsibility of the government to ensure that the Complex becomes the next alternative for government IGR.
The forthcoming Fair is tagged Commercial and Industrial Trade Fair, and the exhibition will be held from November 15 to 26th, 2024.
