culinary experience, the GTBank Food and Drink Fair showcases the richness of
Africa’s food culture and the vibrancy of the small businesses involved in the
industry. This year, we have added an extra day to the fair, thereby increasing
the opportunities for small businesses to connect to more consumers as well as

from the amazing experiences that we create for our tens of thousands of

that speak to the true value of the GTBank Food and Drink Fair. Behind these
small businesses are hard-working fathers, enterprising mothers and incredibly
passionate youths, and when they share their remarkable stories of record sales
at the fair, we see not just the impact of our efforts at Promoting Enterprise
