In a compelling address during the 45th Kaduna International Trade Fair, Right Honourable Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of the House of Representatives, emphasized the vital role that trade fairs play in shaping a nation's economic landscape.

Speaking to a diverse audience at the Kaduna International Trade and Investment Centre, the Speaker extended a warm welcome to all participants. The event, orchestrated by the Kaduna Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture (KADCCIMA), showcased collaborative efforts of stakeholders and the Trade Fair Organizing Committee.

The Speaker who was represented at the event by Rt Hon. James Shuaibu Barka, a member House of Representative,  underscored that trade fairs are not mere gatherings but powerful catalysts for economic, social, and industrial development. Their impact resonates across sectors, fostering innovation, partnerships, and overall growth.

Highlighting the historical significance of the Kaduna International Trade Fair, the Speaker acknowledged its unwavering contribution to Nigeria's economic progress since its inception. The fair has served as a hub for entrepreneurs, investors, and visionaries, driving commerce and prosperity.
