The co-founders of the 9jababy Tradefair— Abimbola Anifowose and Omolabake Sulaimon— have said that the event promises lots of benefits for mothers and other people that will be in attendance.
Speaking at a media parley to unveil held during the week in Lagos, Abimbola stated that the fair, which will hold on the grounds of the Lagos Television in March, was conceived to fill a void in the baby industry.
Two actresses— Wumi Toriola and Uche Ogbodo— were unveiled as the ambassadors and influencers for the event.
Abimbola said, “I am so excited, because this fair is one of a kind. When selecting our influencers, we went for people who have successfully managed businesses, and are passionate about babies. Aside from being mothers, they care so much for needy, and connect with the grassroots.
“It is an opportunity not for retailers only but wholesalers, importers and manufacturers. I saw a need in the industry, because sellers don’t know how to get their products across to buyers. That is what we are trying to solve by providing access to a variety of suppliers and manufacturers in the industry.”
On her part, Toriola said, “I am ready to work with this brand as a mother who is passionate about children and humanity. I encourage people to tap into this opportunity. Although we are starting small, we are going to be big.”
The other ambassador, Ogbodo, added that she appreciated the opportunity to work with such a brand.
