The trade fair, with its theme; “enhancing Regional Trade and Economic Development”, Organised by the Yenagoa Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, will take place at the Peace Park, opposite Government House, Yenagoa.

The Fair is expected to offer outstanding quality business counselling through business plans, entrepreneurship training and business support services.

The managers of the 1st Yenagoa Trade Fair, Morrison Communications Ltd, have assured that the 14-days event will be a landmark celebration to juxtapose economic activities, entertainment and cultural extravaganza that will propel the tapping of the abundant investment opportunities in the “Glory of all Lands”, Bayelsa State.

Highlights of the Fair will be the exhibition of the rich cultural heritage of the Niger Delta region, musical explosion tagged “Brand N’ Stars”, ribs cracking comedians, Nollywood stars among others.
