By Dipo Olowookere

No fewer than 250 manufacturers from different sectors are expected to display over 200,000 products at the Nigeria-China Trade Fair taking place at the Eko Convention Centre, Lagos from May 16 to 18, 2019.

Organisers of the event said customers will have a chance to purchase the best Chinese and Nigerian products at competitive prices.

These products will include furniture, appliances, leather goods, cosmetic, sporting goods, auto-parts, electrical and electronics, agriculture and food equipment, textile and garment.

Organising coordinator for Nigeria, Mr Jude Chime, informed newsmen that, “These products have been sourced from over 250 manufacturers from China, who are seeking to do business with Nigerian firms.”

He said the Nigeria-China Trade Fair was tilted towards promoting the production capacity of Nigeria through technical partnerships.

“The beauty of this is that we are reducing total reliance on importation, the cost of importation, the time it takes to fly to china, the fees our business men and women pay to agents, we are also cutting the time it takes to seek a supplier, and most importantly, we are creating jobs for the highly skilled and creative Nigerian populace,” he said.
