Total Exploration and Production (E&P) Upstream Limited has said it is pleased with the contribution of Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, PHCCIMA, the SME-Development Network and other key stakeholders that have so far been involved in the planning and organization of what will be the very first annual Egi City Trade and Investment Fair.
Mr. Nicolas Brunet, Deputy Managing Director of the company made this declaration during a colourful ceremony to mark the official unveiling of the first Egi City Trade and Investment Fair held at the Council hall of Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce on Friday 5th April, 2013.
Ably represented by, Mr Peter Igbinovia, Executive General Manager Total E&P Port Harcourt district, he said Total will continue to support the Egi City Trade and Investment Fair as part of its Small Business Initiative (SBI) in its attempt to support RSSDAs effort to establish the Rivers North Growth Pole; a strategy aimed at transforming Egi into an economic hub with the intention of spreading its economic prosperity to other neighbouring communities in ONELGA, Ahoada East, Ahoada West and Abua Odual LGAs.
According to him, the Egi City SME Trade and Investment Fair is the first of its kind in the whole of ONELGA and the objective of the Fair is not only to provide entrepreneurs the opportunity to showcase and sell their goods and services but also to provide a platform where entrepreneurs, would-be entrepreneurs, investors and customers can exchange business ideas, establish business partnerships and relationship, begin new supply chains and link up to new market opportunities to draw more investment into Egi.
He explained that the fair will help build the entrepreneurial spirit of unemployed Egi youths, many of whom are very interested in starting their own businesses even as the SME-DN Centre will provide periodic orientation workshops during the Fair for Egi youths that are interested in identifying their business niche whether it is in agriculture, manufacturing, services and trading, adding that SME-DN will also provide guidance on how those that are interested in starting a business can plan, establish, manage and grow such businesses.
In his remark the Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce, President, Engr. Emeka Unachukwu underscored the importance of organizing Trade Fairs and asserted that such events are quite fundamental to development be it in the local, state or national level, even as he offered that as reason for the involvement of Port Harcourt Chamber of Commerce in seriously supporting the SME-Development Centre to organize this fair.
