“These were to provide opportunities for physical interactive meetings where we discussed how to collaboratively tackle the enormous challenges facing the sector as well as seeing how the events which bring together the major players together annually could be used to attract the much needed attention from the government and other relevant players in the industry.
“It is an opportunity we are using to hear directly from the companies about challenges they are facing, which we took to the Federal Government ministries, departments, agencies and Legislatures which roles impact on the industry, to ensure that their attention is attracted to the challenges as to addressing them.
“Most importantly, we have invited and ensure that the leadership of these ministries, departments and agencies actively participate in this edition in the events which will enhance the realisation of the objectives of having successful and beneficial event that will add more value to all the stakeholders.
