The recently concluded Business Fair organized by Connect Nigeria was an overwhelming success.
This year’s event held on February 27 at Eko Hotel and Suites had in attendance thousands of business owners from all over Nigeria, 30 exhibitions, and 15 speakers at three panel discussion sessions.
The theme of the 4th business fair, eBusiness and the Growth of Your Enterprise, was centred on growing small and medium enterprises via technology.
In addition to eBusiness as its main focus, the fair also had a sensitization by FIRS on the importance of partnerships between stakeholders and the government with respect to paying taxes.
