ABSTRACT
The Trade Fair Complex Abuja like most events of its kind was concieved as a means of providing forum for businessmen and exchange of ideas, open market for new products, attract foreign and local investment, expose new inventions and educate the public at large. Thus the trade fair centres in Nigeria have problems in terms of its physical infrastructures Such as Space demand, electricity drainage and sewage, pedestrian walkway (pavement), vehicular movement e.t.c. The study will examine these problems in detail with particular attention to Abuja and suggest solutions and recommendations. Moreso, the goal of the thesis is to provide a be fitting exhibition centre for fair that will go well with its activities by providing properly planned facilities that will reflect the exhibits climatic condition and its socio-cultural status as a festival. Since the period of main usuage is about a week, the centre will be adoptable to other uses, so that it dosen't become a ghost town when no exhibition is taking place.
