Ecobank Nigeria Begins Design and Build Expo Nov 7

The Design & Build Expo being organised by Ecobank Nigeria to highlight the latest trends, innovations, and sustainable practices in architecture, construction, building materials, household appliances, engineering, and interior design will begin November 7 and end December 1.

Already, 60 exhibitors have signed up to present their products and innovations at the carefully curated five-day event, tagged “Building Nigeria Together” at the Ecobank Pan African Centre (EPAC) on Victoria Island, Lagos.

During the event announcement in Lagos, Omoboye Odu, Head of SMEs, Partnerships, and Collaborations at Ecobank Nigeria emphasised that the expo is part of the bank’s broader initiative to support the country’s economic development and a platform for professionals in the design and building sectors to showcase and sell their offerings to a larger audience while facilitating valuable networking opportunities for entrepreneurs, consumers, and stakeholders in the economy.

The expo will focus on businesses that include real estate development, kitchen fittings, tiling and flooring, interior design, lighting, woodwork, electronics, and construction tools and equipment.

“As a Pan-African bank, this expo aligns with our mission to contribute to the economic growth of the countries where we operate. It’s a unique opportunity for industry players to showcase their products, network, and promote sustainable practices, emphasising renewable materials and energy-efficient technologies,” Odu stated.

Odu also highlighted that exhibitors would gain significant exposure to key decision-makers, influencers, and potential clients, allowing them to showcase their offerings and engage in interactive sessions, workshops, and live demonstrations. This will enhance their brand visibility, provide valuable market insights, and help them explore emerging industry trends. She extended an open invitation to stakeholders and enthusiasts in the real estate sector – asking that they join us at this novel exhibition and collectively let us combine forces in Building Nigeria Together.

In addition to the expo, Ecobank Nigeria has launched various initiatives to support SMEs and boost the economy, including the successful Adire Lagos Experience, +234 Art Fair, Ecobank National Schools Team Chess Championship, and Oja Oge 2024. The bank is also conducting its monthly MySME Growth Series, aimed at training and empowering over 1 million SME operators nationwide by the end of the year.
