The event, which spans three days, features top brands offering discounts ranging from 10% to 50%, creating a vibrant and competitive shopping environment. Notable exhibitors include Adidas, House of Tara, Winston Leather, and Lush Hair, among others. According to Omoboye Odu, Ecobank Nigeria’s Head of SME, Partnerships, and Collaborations, the event is not just a marketplace but a celebration of entrepreneurship, creativity, and community.
“We’re thrilled that all our exhibitors are on the ground and fully activated,” Odu said. “The response has been overwhelming, and the energy at the venue is exactly what we hoped for. This is not just a pop-up; it is a full-blown fashion, culture, and lifestyle experience.”
The event offers a dynamic blend of activities, including live music, fashion runway shows, beauty makeovers, games, and family-friendly activities. Dedicated zones such as Gameland for adults, Kid Zone and Books by Omolara for children, and a Beauty Parlour for women are crowd favourites. Additionally, there are raffle draws and giveaways sponsored by corporate partners like Airtel Nigeria, Flutterwave, Qatar Airways, and Maltina.
Odu emphasised that Ecobank understands the barriers faced by SMEs and is committed to supporting their operations. “Oja Oge is a celebration of entrepreneurship, creativity, and community. We invite everyone to come and experience it,” she added. The bank’s initiative aligns with its Pan-African mission to provide solutions for SMEs and promote economic growth
