The Niger State Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NCCIMA) has concluded preparations to host the 2025 edition of the Niger State Trade Fair.
Speaking with journalists in Minna, the Director General of NCCIMA, Adamu Salihu, confirmed that planning commenced immediately after receiving state government approval, and that significant progress has been made.
Salihu said this year's event is expected to attract exhibitors and visitors from across Nigeria, thanks to improved security measures under the administration of Governor Umar Mohammed Bago.
He added that several government agencies and private companies have already indicated interest in participating, a development he said would help drive economic growth in the state.
