Ecobank has announced the debut of the “Oja Oge” pop-up bazaar, a dynamic platform including over 100 exhibitors from the fashion, beauty, and lifestyle sectors. This event, scheduled for August 31 and September 1, 2024 at the Ecobank Pan African Centre in Lagos, promises to be a thriving magnet for both local consumers and enterprises.
Omoboye Odu, Ecobank Nigeria’s head of SMEs, partnerships, and collaborations, expressed excitement during the pre-event briefing in Lagos, stressing the great quality of the exhibitors, which included well-known companies such as Techno, Ash Luxury, and House of Tara. Odu told participants that the program will provide an enriching experience for all guests.
The “Oja Oge” initiative is part of Ecobank’s overall plan to support Nigeria’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The two-day event will include not only shopping options, but also workshops, beauty clinics, and lively entertainment such as folk music performances and a nightly fashion catwalk display with designers like as Ugo Monye and Imad Eduso.
This marketplace is more than a business event; it is a celebration of African culture and inventiveness, providing a glimpse into the continent’s future fashion and lifestyle trends. With music, food, and even high-tech gadgets on exhibit, “Oja Oge” seeks to provide a comprehensive experience in a warm and serene environment.
This event provides a chance for Ecobank to strengthen its community participation and advance its commitment to enabling local businesses, demonstrating its leadership in the financial sector’s support for long-term economic growth.
As the event approaches, potential attendees and exhibitors become increasingly excited, ready to participate in what may be one of Lagos’ most significant retail and lifestyle events this year.
