Hundreds job-seeking artisans in Enugu and neighboring states
have thronged the Enugu International Trade Fair ahead of the commencement of
the 28 Enugu International Trade on Friday.
Naijaroyaltyculture.blogspot.com reports that most of the
artisans spotted at the Permanent Trade Fair Complex include; carpenters,
decorators, painters and electricians among others.
A carpenter, Mr John Odo, told our correspondent that most of
his colleagues had been contracted to build wooden exhibition stands at the
fair ground.
I got some jobs which I am billed to finish before 10 a.m. on
Friday, the opening of the fair.
I have called some of my colleagues to take up some of the jobs
I rejected due to lack of time,’’ Odo said.
A painter, Mr Godswill Onyekachi, said that he had not rested
for two days so that he could deliver various painting contracts he collected
at the fair ground.
As you can see, my apprentices and I are so busy and it is
likely we will pass the night here to meet our contractual targets,’’ Onyekachi
said.
A decorator, Mr Obinna Amadi, noted that more exhibitors and
exhibiting companies had taken to interior and exterior decoration of their
stands to attract more customers.
I have observed that we have more jobs in this up-coming fair
than previous years.
This development he said showed that Nigerians as well as
companies participating in the fair appreciated the aesthetics- colour interior
and exterior decoration- added to their stands at the fair,’’ Amadi said.

International Trade Fair, which has been scheduled between March 31 and April
