Within two years of independence (October 1, 1960) from
the United Kingdom, Nigeria, recognizing the importance
of marketing its products on a global basis, hosted its
first international trade fair,
announced by this poster. As President Obasanjo would say
of a later fair held in Lagos in 1977 at the recently constructed
fair complex, "a trade fair is a market organized to promote
trade, where buyers and sellers gather to transact business.
. . . Nigeria wants to and ought to participate in the more
lucrative aspect of this international trade."
