Kaduna International Trade Fair is regarded as the major annual event in the calendar of the Kaduna Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 

The fair initially started as a biannual event as a domestic fair focusing on the agricultural sector in the year 1974. The event continued until 1979, when the fair became an internationally planned annual event. 

The first Kaduna International Trade Fair started in February 1979, at Murtala Mohammed Square, and recorded a total of 205 exhibitors. 

The event continued to develop significantly, providing an avenue for the promotion of every aspect of the economic sectors through international and national partnerships.

It is a unique event that occurs annually in Kaduna state because it plays a very crucial role in the overall economic, social, and industrial development of the nation's economy. 

The fair attracts producers and manufacturers of goods and services from across the globe to exhibit their products, thereby promoting business.
