34 states shunned 35th Enugu Int’l Trade Fair

No Fewer than 34 states in the country failed to honour invitation to attend the just-concluded 35th Enugu International Trade Fair. Only the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja; Ebonyi State and the host state, Enugu State, graced the 11-day international goods, services and idea showcasing fiesta.
The fair, which began on April 5 and ended on Monday, April 15, was themed: “Promoting made-in-Nigeria products for global competitiveness.
Reacting, the Director-General of Enugu Chamber of Commerce, Uche Mbah, said that the chamber followed due diligence in the invitation of all states to the fair.
Despite these efforts, many states failed to respond, including Kano State and Abia State. Mbah expressed disappointment at the missed opportunity to showcase products and investment potential from across the country.
