Lagos State, the centre of excellence, is presently playing host to the Lagos International Trade Fair holding between 9-15 November 2026 at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, organised by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Trade has is well known involves the voluntary buying or exchange of goods and services between people.
The state which is the largest city in the continent of Africa has a population of over 20 million people and it was formed in the year 1967. Lagos has nearly a quarter of its land occupied by lagoons of which Lagos and Lekki are the largest, creeks and rivers. Blessed with seaports including Apapa and Lekki.
Lagos got its major development from the early civilisation brought from the colonial master the United Kingdom where early settlers set up the Victoria Island named after the former Queen of the United Kingdom. The state has great infrastructures including airport in Ikeja. The Gross Domestic Product of Lagos is about $84b which outpaces many countries especially in Africa but this state ironically also has alarming rates of unemployment, insecurity of sorts, however one can't use this as a measure of downgrade as such unemployment and crimes also exists in all the civilised cities in the world.
The state has interesting real estate and territories comparable with the best of any city in the entire world such as the Eko Atlantic reclaimed from the Atlantic Ocean hosting major infrasturctures and official headquarters of global institutions.
This programme called the Lagos International Trade Fair is done annually starting every first Friday of November. The programme hosts a bedrock of activities including showcasing of events and fun, showcasing of different new and present products of organisations including mechanical and electrical, house and home products, financial products etc all geared towards enhancing trade and economic posture of people and corporate organisations in the country.
Visiting this programme and the various stands could secure you important price slashes of various products, important partnerships for growth of your business or you can even participate to promote your business through the stands.
Bravo to the Trade Promotions Board and Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
