According to Ezekiel Adamu, “one of the major highlights of the festival is the made in Nigeria expo. This is an event planned to be Nigeria’s largest exhibition for unique products and services that are targeted at the Nigerian market. Manufacturers, distributors and service providers whose products and services are being consumed by Nigerians”. The scope of the festival is also said to include an exclusive pavilion for large scale multinationals, small business pavilion, a meeting place for owners of small businesses, a networking lounge, conference hub, a taste Nigeria culinary event, among others. One of the trio, Akin Osho was more specific about the entertainment and hospitality aspect of the festival. He said ‘there’s going to be a Nigerian music concert, an international standard music concert, which will be an avenue to export Nigerian music. We are also planning a Nigerian Heroes Award. This is an award to celebrate ordinary Nigerians doing extra-ordinary things to affect Nigeria and Nigerians. Also, Runway Nigeria; this is a platform to showcase designs from Nigeria to a global audience’. Made in Nigeria Festival is an event that is set to portray the rich economic and cultural potentials of Nigeria to the whole world.
