Anambra to hold mega trade fair

ANAMBRA Mega Trade Fair with  theme, ‘Partnering with Government and Organised Private Sector for Economic Advancement and Job Creation’, has been scheduled to hold from November 25 to December 5, at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka.

  According to Governor Obiano, trade fair is a time for ndi-Anambra to showcase their culture and various abilities. It is also a good way of attracting investors to the state.

  Represented by his deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke during a courtesy visit by the Trade Fair Planning Committee and Association of Anambra Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ACCIMA), at Government House, Awka,

 he urged the group to get in touch with the Commissioner for Local Government, to ensure effective participation of all the local governments across the state. “Trade Fair is our pillar, you all need to work with enthusiasm” Obiano states.

  Earlier, President, Onitsha Chamber of Commerce, Chris Ukachukwu, said the trade fair would be an avenue for nd iAnambra to demonstrate that they are not only good outside, but also good in their own domain.

  Pharm. Ukachukwu also pleaded with the state government to erect a platform for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), all local governments within the state, and manufacturers, to display their wares to people, as such would encourage them to increase their activities, attract investors and show that Anambra is indeed a great state.

  President, Awka Chamber of Commerce, Pastor Stephen Nduaguba, who said the fair was for ndi-Anambra, also urged everyone to make their own contributions. “This fair would make us witness the skills of our people” he said.
