Seven months after the expiration of the tenure board of directors of the expansive Lagos International Trade Fare Complex, the federal government is yet to constitute another board.
Added to it is the fact that since the first tenure of the executive director/CEO came to an end, nobody has been appointed to the position just the tenure of the former occupant renewed.
The place can now be likened to sheep without shepherd, a rudderless ship as no one is in charge and there is virtually ‘nobody’ the staff can take directive from except for the occasional intervention by the Minister of Trade whose ministry is the supervisory ministry.
