Jos, Nov. 4, 2016 (NAN) Exhibitors at the recently conclude Jos Trade Fair have commended its organisers over what they described as “a very wonderful and efficient organisation”.
Some of them, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Friday in Jos, attributed the success of their outings to the “skillful management of the event by the handlers”.
The two-week Fair, which ended on Thursday, was organised by Plateau Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (PLACCIMA), and Anista Marketing and Events Limited, a private firm.
One of the exhibitors, Mr Kofi Marshal, from Ghana, who deals in jewelries, particularly expressed happiness over adequate security as well as uninterrupted electricity and water supply.
“Honestly, I am very impressed with the Trade Fair; I never knew that it would be as smooth as this.
“I have enjoyed good patronage and I am very impressed. My initial fear was security, but there was no single breach.
“The security at the event was very tight. The visitors were very polite and orderly while patronage was very good. I could not have asked for more,” he said.
Another exhibitor, Mr Sa’ad Usman, a dealer in fabrics, from Kano, also commended the organisers for the massive publicity that ensured good patronage, pointing out that most of the visitors to the fair were not even from Plateau.
“Many people came from Lagos, Enugu and even Kebbi; I atribute that to adequate publicity that ensured the wide reach,” he said.
Mrs. Perpetua Eze, an exhibitor from Lagos and a dealer in kitchen utensils and interiors furnishing materials, also cmmended the organisers for making it a duty to routinely visit all stands to encourage the exhibitors and listen to their concerns.
“Such visits were very reassuring and helped both organisers and exhibitors to constantly work together toward the success that we recorded.
“I was also very impressed with the security aspect; every corner of the venue was well secured and under watch which made us very relaxed,” she said. (NAN)
