The second edition of the Lagos Motor Show will even be bigger
and better in October 2006, according to the show organiser,
Fashintext Limited, and the collaborating NTA 2 Channel 5
Lagos.
Number of official visitors have been confirmed and this has
been put at 5,000 but expectations are that all participating
exhibitors at the Ocean View grounds on Victoria Island, where
the event slated to begin October 5 and end on the 11th will
hold have completed and signed necessary papers for the very
limited space available.
Though the participants for the 2006 show had already been
pencilled, Mr Ifeanyi Agwu, Managing Director of the organising
company, says the success of this year's event depends also
on the chances of more car accessory dealers, more car manufacturers’
representatives and more visitors taking full advantage of
the fair to either display or choose their favourite vehicles
or accessories.
Throughout the show, participants and invited visitors will
take advantage of a special press squad to air their views
on this year's event in the exclusive ‘Press Room’.
There will be good music and other forms of entertainment,
the event organisers promised.
While many have complained in the past about absence of car
franchisee organisations like Coscharis which markets BMW
and Globe Motors for Mercedes Benz, the overall opinion now
is positive that the rave of the moment dealerships like Chery
Motors and BriscoeFord are ready to show their model line-
ups.
What do you think?
Be ready to fill a simple questionnaire at the fair ground,
such as: Did you come to the Motor Show to see the latest
offering? What were your impressions? Did you expect more
or did you leave happy? And most importantly, will you be
back in 2007? The organisers will want to hear from you. There
will also be possible discussions on the challenges of bad
fuel and its effect on the economy. |
