On the Group\u2019s participation at the Trade Fair, he said \u201cOur participation at all major trade fairs across the country is a means of demonstrating our firm belief that Chambers of Commerce and Industry occupy a unique position in driving economic development through their activities. According to him, the essence of Lagos International Trade Fair 2021 is woven around the caption, \u2018Connecting businesses, creating value\u2019, is consistent with our drive for innovation and value creation across Africa. This informed our belief that participating in this Trade Fair helps us connect to our customers who may not have had the opportunity to visit our offices.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
