FAD: Tell us about the upcoming NIPOLI event

We have enough resources in terms of personnel, ideas, and connections to make the event worthwhile, and to be very cost-effective. Though it’s a 3-day program, our charges for booth, advertisements and product presentations are very considerate because we take into cognizance the economic situation in Nigeria. We are not out to kill but to revive businesses and help them flourish.
We have spread our tentacles globally to embrace participants from all over the world – exhibitors, speakers, farmers, and students.
