No plan to sell Lagos Trade Fair Complex – BPE

The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) has said that there was no plan to sell the Lagos International Trade Fair complex to any individual or corporate organization. 

Reacting to Monday’s protests by traders at the complex, the Head, Public Communications, of the bureau, Amina Othman, said, in Abuja that the federal government would only concession the complex to a new operator, as the old concession arrangement had been terminated since August 2017.

She also added that for the avoidance of doubt, the Bureau states that the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), does not intend to sell the Complex rather the facility would be concession through a competitive transaction process.
