Over 23 people have so far visited the metal and bomb detectors' pavilions, while some were ordering for various gadgets that were not readily available at the fair.

Prices of the materials vary from N4,000 to N120,000 depending on model and specifications.
A cross section of visitors to the fair said that the high demand for the materials resulted from the security situation in the state.

Felix Agwo, one of the visitors, said at one of the pavilions that the detectors were necessary to assist security operatives; adding that it also forms part of the social responsibility packages of corporate organisation to protect staff and visitors.

Dabot Kamal, of the Cooperate Affairs Commission (CAC), said that it was vital for even companies represented at the fair to take protective measures to ensure patronage.
