Never in recent times have stakeholders in the country’s automobile sub-sector  converged to champion a common cause intended at fostering the speedy growth and  development of the automotive industry, than the just concluded 6th Lagos auto fair,  even when some key players such as Dana Motors, marketers of Kia range of vehicles;  Coscharis Motors, the BMW, Ford and Rover dealers; CFAO group, marketers of Nissan,  Chevrolet and Renault brand of vehicles opted out.

The loyalty of other stakeholders who participated in the show injected some measure  of hope into the sub-sector. Those who lent credence to the show include Stallion  Motors representative of Audi, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Skoda and Honda range of  vehicles, PAN, National Trucks Manufacturers Limited, Kano, Toyota Nigeria Limited,  Asian Motors and Saipa Group. New sensation automobile magazine Motor Trend Africa  provided the players the desired coverage.

Kenneth Mgbeokwere of Asian Motors acknowledged the success of the show which he  said wasn’t even given adequate publicity. He wished the inquiries made during the  show transform to sales in due course. In the same vein, Schola Ezeanekwe, Senior  Sales Executive, SA Canopy – a subsidiary of Mandilas Autos applauded the organisers  of the show for providing such platform for stakeholders, saying it was a remarkable  way to get its products to the doorstep of prime users.

And for PAN Nigeria, M.B Usman, the fair was another opportunity to explore the  markets. To the facilitators, this, of course, is good news as chances of  participation in subsequent motor shows brightens.

Mr Ifeanyichukwu Agwu, M.D. BKG Exhibition said:

“There might have been some noticeable challenges in this edition both from inside  and outside. However we all need to up the tempo of our individual and collective  contributions to seeing to the success of this auto show. We have started addressing  the challenges. Our assurance to you all is that come the 7th edition in April/May  2012 you will have a highly improved Lagos Motor Fair that will live up to  expectations.

But until the facilitators put heads together to bring the stakeholders together  under one roof in an elaborate setting that would attract foreign participation,  motor shows organised in this country would remain a far cry from similar shows  staged abroad, John Owolabi, a stakeholder posited.
