RPSN Aims to Boost Professionalism of Event Rental Businesses

A new association, the Rental Professionals Society of Nigeria (RPSN) has established its presence in Lagos to improve professionalism within the events’ rental business in Nigeria.

Conceived in 2019 by Kemi Adeleke who saw a need for regulation in the industry and currently serves as the inaugural president, RPSN is positioned to be a platform that facilitates the advancement, empowerment, and support of rental professionals in Nigeria through collaborations. It plans to expand to other states in the country.

“We are rental companies, and without us, events cannot even take place. Individually, you can’t even have everything. So you need to collaborate and network with other members to be able to achieve your clients’ requests,” Adeleke noted.

With logistics being an essential part of the day to day activity of most rental companies, the association has leveraged the influence of government bodies like the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS), and Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to create avenues for educating and training members where necessary, to avoid any form of obstruction.

The launch event played host to 65 members of the association, as well as prospective members and representatives of LASTMA, VIS, and FRSC were also in attendance.
