As you rightly said, the trade fair was organized by Kaduna Market and it was the second edition of such a fair that the company organized. His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has expressed happiness that the trade fair was successful.
No, no, no. Kaduna International Trade Fair is a different kettle of fish all together. It is a trade fair that is often organized Kaduna Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mines and Agriculture.
Like I said, this second fair held at Murtala Square which has been concessioned to a private group that will be running it, not just as a profit-making venture but to maintain the huge investments that Kaduna State Government has made in terms of facilities. It will create employment and economic activity and so on. I told you earlier that the MSME Clinic that we held earlier in May was held at the Centenary Park.
Murtala Square, I keep saying, is the most comprehensive sporting facility arena in this country and even in Africa. I don’t know what obtains in South Africa, I have tried to see if there is any one single square, that contains all that there is in Murtala Square. For example, the only sport that cannot be held in Murtala Square today is golf. But from polo to cricket, to rugby, football, basketball, volley ball, swimming, cycling, just name it.
