Apr 18, 2008 - Home And Office Exhibition

It really gives me great delight to be part of this biannual Home and Office Exhibition, being organised by PR Distinction and NTA Properties Investment Company.

 

I would like to congratulate the organisers on the success of previous editions of this exhibition especially the opportunities that have been provided for manufacturers and other stakeholders in the sector to network for greater advantage. This no doubt remains very critical to the success and sustainable growth of Small and Medium scale industries.

 

I am informed by the organisers that one of the success stories of this Fair is that a good number of exhibitors are making our nation Nigeria proud through their products which are now making inroads into the markets of other parts of the continent. I urge you not to relent in your efforts especially in being more creative, innovative and increasing the local content of your products.

 

I will therefore implore you to take advantage of the opportunity which this year’s Fair presents to compare notes, share experiences on how you can move the sector forward and make your products truly and proudly Nigerian.

 

Once again, I congratulate both the organisers and exhibitors and hope that together, you will take this fair to greater heights.

 

Thank you and God bless you all.


Her Excellency
Mrs. Abimbola Fashola
First Lady of Lagos State
