Some 60 companies from Ghana are participating at the on-going 5th Abuja International Trade Fair, Director-General, Ghana Export Promotion Council, Mr. Geralo Mensah, said.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Sunday that the companies were attending the fair under the auspices of the Ghana Export Promotion Council.
``We spread them over a total of 40 booths; some are sharing booths because the space is limited, even though we occupy the largest area in terms of square meters.
``We just have to make do with the limited space,‘‘ Mensah said.
He said the companies were in Nigeria to explore the business potential to the fullest.
``I am sure that not less than 100 companies will attend the next fair, he said.‘‘
Mensah said that Ghana spent about $1bn to buy made-in-Nigeria goods and services in its 2009 fiscal year.
The director-general stressed the need for a boost in trade and investment between the two countries.
``Nigerian business men should take advantage of the emerging business opportunities in Ghana.
