Executive director (ED) of Lagos International Trade Fair Complex, Barrister Vera Ndanusa, has said the forthcoming Lagos International Trade Fair will attract over 100,000 visitors from across the globe.
She stated that the foreign and local investors participating at the fair will ultimately boost the country’s economy and Lagos State in particular.
Ndanusa, in a statement in Port Harcourt yesterday, said the 2024 Lagos International Trade Fair was coming after 14 years of stoppage due to lack of strong political will to hold the annual exhibitions at the Complex arena.
The statement reads in part: “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 various products, from consumer goods to industrial equipment, and engage with global exhibitors.
“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 is to showcase the latest industry innovations, foster networking and partnerships, and provide a platform for businesses to connect with potential customers, investors, and industry experts.
“Additionally, the fair aims to attract foreign investments by highlighting emerging sectors and industries that are well positioned for growth.
“With this relaunch, the management aims to reinforce Lagos status as a major commercial hub in Africa, significantly contributing to Nigeria’s economic growth, creating job opportunities, and boosting exports.”
