The management of Enugu Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ECCIMA) has extended the 30th edition of Enugu International Trade Fair by two days.
The fair was earlier billed to last 10 days from April 5th – 15th but has now been shifted to end on April 17, 2019.
The president of the chamber Mr Emeka Udeze announced the extension Friday when the fair was declared open by the deputy governor of Enugu state, Mrs Cecilia Ezilo on behalf of the governor.
Udeze said the extension was necessitated by the fact that it clashed with that of Kaduna International Trade Fair that had been ongoing and would end Sunday April 7, 2019.
“May I announce that because of the Kaduna Trade Fair that has been going on and will end on Sunday, we have extended the closing date of the 30th Enugu International Trade Fair by two days. The fair will now end on April 17, 2019,” the ECCIMA president said.
Udeze, however, called on the federal government to expedite action in order to make use of the permanent site of the fair just like that of Kaduna and Lagos.
He harped on the need to work on the road network within the complex, the provision of water as well as other infrastructure pointing out that there is need to make the central pavilion attractive and befitting.
Ezilo said the state government would do anything possible to ensure ease of doing business in order to attract investors.
