Awka, Nov. 9, 2016 (NAN) The forthcoming Anambra Jubilee Trade Fair would offer participants the opportunity to showcase their inventions and create over 500 new enterprises, organisers said on Wednesday.
Sunny Nwachukwu, Chairman of the organising committee, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka that the fair would hold in Awka between Nov. 25 and Dec. 9.
He said the organisers had carried out adequate sensitisation among the business community and organised private sector to ensure a successful fair.
“We want to showcase the state’s spirit of investment, enterprise and cooperation.
“We have received tremendous responses and we are expecting majority of those who responded to take up stands as participants.
“We are jointly working with the government which adopted the fair as part of activities marking the state’s 25th anniversary,’’ he said.
According to him, the fair is being packaged by the Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi Chambers of Commerce.
Nwachukwu said that the government and the private sector had synergised to showcase the economic potentials, capabilities and prowess existing in the state.
“It is our expectation that many new production techniques, research findings, industrial inventions and several newly-developed cottage applications will be exhibited at the fair.
“It is an opportunity for industries, research and manpower training institutions to team up for sustainable development of the state.
“This is also an opportunity for Igbo traders to bring in their partners to set up manufacturing outfits and rake in profit,’’ he said.
Nwachukwu said that the President of African Export Bank, Dr Ben Okey Oranu, was billed to deliver a keynote address at the opening ceremony. (NAN)
