“We are looking to host 175 guests on 25 regular tables, 60 guests on 10 VIP tables, 300 guests at the gallery, 10 million online and television viewers, 15 international acts including speacialmusical appearances by Chike, Ladipoe and Mimz as well as 20 exhibition booths featuring corporate exhibition stands, book stalls and fashion stands, amongst others.
