Anambra Second Edition Of Fashion Expo To Hold On October

The Anambra State Ministry of Culture, Entertainment and Tourism is to partner with the organizers of Anambra Fashion Expo, AFE, 2023 to organize second edition of the event by October this year.

The agreement was reached when the organizers of the event led by Mazi Ejimofor paid Commissioner Onyenji a visit in his office in Awka.

The Commissioner while welcoming the team, commended their efforts towards the success of last year’s Anambra Fashion Expo and noted that their partnership for this year’s event would help make it a mega event.

He congratulated the convener of AFE, Ada Soludo for the success of the programme last year and promised to look into the content of the programme in order to see how best his ministry can assist.

Commissioner Onyenji said that partnering with the state ministry will enable the AFE team have a documented file in the ministry, which can serve as a reference point in the future, noting that consultants succeed more with such.

He described entertainment as an intangible aspect of tourism, saying that it drives the other aspects of tourism because it attracts more human traffic for the state.
