As part of its efforts to support micro, small and medium enterprises in the state, the Enugu State government has announced plans to hold a trade fair for SMEs in the state in November this year.
Special Adviser to the Governor on MSMEs and Digital Economy, Arinze Chilo-Offiah, announced this during a press conference in Enugu yesterday.
Chilo-Offiah said the fair being organised by the Enugu State government through the Enugu SME Agency and Office of Digital Economy in collaboration with Naija Brand Chic, will benefit small businesses by connecting them to larger markets and bringing them together into a community.
He said: “We have created a novel brand tagged ‘Enugu 042 and Naija Brand Chic Trade Fair’. This will be an annual event, beginning with the upcoming first edition on November 2 and 3, 2024. Our partner has organised similar events in major Nigerian cities and other countries. Enugu SMEs will benefit immensely from connecting to the global market and becoming members of a community.”
Also speaking, the founder of Naija Brand Chic, Mrs. Nelly Agbogu, said they expected vendors not only from Enugu and the Southeast, but also from different parts of the country and abroad, adding that the fair would help business owners and vendors grow, be more visible, and meet new customers.
