There was only one functioning Automated Teller Machine at the ongoing 2018 Lagos International Trade Fair, reports the News Agency of Nigeria.

It was reported that besides the functioning Fidelity Bank ATM, a First Bank mobile ATM van at the fairground was yet to commence operation.

There was a long queue of bank customers at the only functioning ATM as customers complained about the inadequate number of financial institutions available at the fair.

Mr Gabriel Idahosa, Chairman, Trade Promotion Board of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that more banks would commence operation by Monday to facilitate seamless business activities at the fair.

He said that some of the banks were conducting installation of their computer systems and ATMs to meet the needs of exhibitors and visitors during the 10-day trade fair.

The annual fair, organised by LCCI, began on November 2 and will end on November 11.
