Following the roaring success of its debut, Ecobank Nigeria is gearing up to host the second edition of its much-anticipated fashion and lifestyle fair, Oja Oge by Ecobank. Set to take place from April 18 to 20 at the cutting-edge Ecobank Pan African Centre (EPAC) in Victoria Island, Lagos, the event promises a blend of style, business, and entertainment.
Over 100 exhibitors from across the fashion, beauty, wellness, and lifestyle sectors are expected to showcase their offerings at the 3-day marketplace. This year’s edition is also powered by strategic partnerships with industry giants including Airtel Nigeria, Flutterwave, Qatar Airways, and Maltina, enhancing the scope and reach of the event.
Empowering Local Creators and Entrepreneurs
Described as a “one-stop marketplace,” Oja Oge is more than just a shopping fair, it’s a hub for networking, brand exposure, and cultural exchange. Speaking during the announcement in Lagos, Omoboye Odu, Ecobank Nigeria’s Head of SME, Partnerships, and Collaborations, noted the event’s role in spotlighting local entrepreneurs and connecting them with broader markets.
“We’re excited to build on the momentum from our first edition. This year, it’s bigger and better. It’s a platform for local fashion designers, beauty brands, and lifestyle businesses to reach new audiences, including international visitors,” said Odu.
More Than a Marketplace: A Lifestyle Experience
The fair is open to the public and free to attend. Visitors can expect not only a vibrant marketplace but also live entertainment, food, music, and family-friendly activities. “It’s an experience, fashion meets culture, and creativity meets commerce,” Odu added.
Pan-African Impact Through SME Support
Ecobank Nigeria, a subsidiary of the Ecobank Group, continues to champion small businesses across Africa. With operations in 33 countries and international outposts in London, Paris, Beijing, and Dubai, the bank remains a major force in promoting intra-African trade and payment solutions, particularly under the framework of the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
As Oja Oge returns for its second edition, Ecobank reinforces its commitment to empowering SMEs and fostering cross-border opportunities through innovation, community engagement, and pan-African integration.
