People have been turning up at the Drug-Free World booth at the Legend FM Fiji Repo Expo at the Vodafone Arena Carpark to ask for advice and pamphlets to share with people who they know are using drugs.

Drug-Free World Director, Kalesi Volatabu says even a woman turned up to ask how she can help her friends in university who are using and experimenting with drugs.

Drug-Free World has delivered its services to about 70,000 people since they were established.

People have also been asking advice at the Unit Trust of Fiji booth about options they can consider to invest and save money.

The Digital Content and Marketing Officer of Unit Trust of Fiji, Harsha Harsmeetal says a good mixture of people have turned up with different preferences in savings.

Today is the final day of the Legend FM Fiji Repo Expo at the Vodafone Arena Carpark.

Fiji's first-ever tradeshow for used and repossessed cars and white goods will open from 10 am to 2 pm today.

Crowds of people showed up yesterday to take advantage of the great deals on offer and also use the services by different organisations.

Entry to the event is free and people will be required to follow COVID-19 guidelines which include downloading the careFiji app on your phone.

There are over 19 businesses and organisations that will be at the Legend FM Fiji Repo Expo 2020.
