Lagos is set to host Nigeria’s biggest trade fair, as Lagos Tourism and Naija Brand Chick (NBC) partner once again to create an exciting marketplace filled with opportunities for businesses and shoppers alike.
“We are excited to create another groundbreaking event that empowers SMEs and transforms lives. Thanks to the Lagos State Government for its intentional commitment to the growth and development of small businesses.”
The 2025 Lagos Tourism NBC Trade Fair promises to be bigger and better than ever, with over 220 vendors, a projected N5 billion in sales, and an estimated 75,000 attendees.
The Fair scheduled for Friday, April 11, to Sunday, April 13, will take place at Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island. The event is not just about trade, it is about fostering economic growth through entertainment, cultural exchange, and innovative business solutions.
Mr. Idris Aregbe, Special Adviser on Tourism, Arts, and Culture to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, emphasized the government’s dedication to supporting local businesses through various initiatives.
“The essence of tourism lies in buying, selling, and landscape development while boosting the local economy and fostering cultural exchange. Our administration is particular about job creation, poverty reduction, SMEs growth, and bridging inequality, and we aim to further achieve with initiatives like this,” he said.
He further noted that this edition is set to be bigger and better, as we have worked tirelessly to refine the experience and maximise impact. Beyond the physical marketplace, we are also introducing an Online Deals Spot to expand accessibility.”

This year’s trade fair aims to be more impactful, providing not just a marketplace but a complete business experience. There will be business masterclasses, interactive workshops, and financial inclusion programmes that will give vendors access to grants and other forms of support.
Entertainment will also be a major highlight, with appearances from influencers and celebrities, cultural performances, dance showcases, exciting giveaways, and raffle draws all aimed at boosting engagement and increasing sales.
The 2024 edition was a resounding success, with many vendors sharing their positive experiences. Key innovations such as the Sanwo-Naira currency and the Lagos Corner initiative, which allowed small businesses with limited resources to participate for free, made a significant impact.
This year, expectations are even higher, with a renewed focus on increasing sales, strengthening connections between vendors and customers, and making the Lagos Tourism NBC Trade Fair a must attend event for businesses and consumers.
