Lagos, Dec.9, 2017 (NAN) Exhibitors at the ongoing Home and Property Festival on Saturday in Lagos commended the organisers of the festival as they attested to the positive outcome of the first one held at Ikeja City Mall.
They gave the commendations in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos at Circle Mall, Lekki ll Peninsular.
NAN reports that the Home and Property Festival being organised by tolet.com.ng was to bridge the gap between buyers, builders and industry key players in the real estate industry.
Exhibitors were offering some discounts on their properties to prospective buyers and encouraging visitors to participate in raffle draw to win the grand prize of a piece of land.
Thirty-six exhibitors displayed their products during the festival.
Mrs Jadesola Olayinka, the Chief Executive Officer of Jafep Paints commended the organisers of the festival saying she had huge sales during the maiden one held at Ikeja City Mall.
Olayinka urged Lagos residents to visit the exhibition stand and acquaint themselves with most of the new building products in town.
She said that at the end of the event, she hoped to have made huge sales and succeeded in getting her products to the end users to beautify their interiors this Yuletide.
“I am glad this festival is in place, well organised and there is not fear of theft around, the first one at Ikeja was also well organised like this.
“I am encouraging Lagos residents to come out and see what the festival has in stock for them here. I know they will be very excited when they know about the discount on land,” she said
Also, Mrs Imelda Usoro-Olaoye, the Managing Director of Homify stores said that the location for the two versions of the festival was the best as people visiting Shoprite and other exotic stores around could easily visit the stands.
“ The first edition of the festival was held at Ikeja City Mall and this one at Lekki Circle Mall, no other venue will have pulled such a huge crowd.
“This is a beautiful idea and I wish the organisers can be doing it every year,” she said.
Also Mr Nonso Damian, a Supervisor from Tecno Mobile said that the maiden festival at Ikeja created lot of awareness on the availability of the company’s new product: Tecno Phantom 8.
” We have made reasonable sales of our new product which is Tecno Phantom 8 since the last edition, we have come to market the same product here,” he said.
Similarly, Mr Tosin Ojuri, a staffer of CMB Building and Investment Company, said that the company had generated more database of prospective customers through the festival.
“Although we had little hitches before the commencement of the festival today; that notwithstanding, people still waited patiently to see our products.
“I am happy because a lot of people are aware of our products, this will make the real estate industry strive better,” he said.
Another exhibitor, Miss Amaka Amakwara appreciated the organisers for having mounted the exhibition stands promptly and for ensuring that every other thing was in place.
“The only thing that caused delay in commencing the festival was beyond human reach, which was the heavy rain.
“ They have done everything humanly possible to make the festival a success and it is really appreciated, we want this to be replicated next year,’’ she said. (NAN)
