Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Trade fairs are significant platforms for fostering economic growth, serving as hubs for business networking, innovation display, and consumer engagement. These events bring together manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and consumers in a dynamic environment where goods, services, and ideas are exchanged. In Minna LGA, trade fairs have gained prominence as a tool for promoting local enterprises, attracting investors, and boosting regional commerce. By providing a venue for showcasing products and services, trade fairs help in bridging the gap between producers and consumers while fostering partnerships that stimulate economic activity. However, their potential remains underutilized due to challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, low participation rates, and limited publicity. This study seeks to explore the contribution of trade fairs to economic growth in Minna LGA, examining their impact on business expansion, employment generation, and revenue creation.
