The Ecobank Pan African Centre (EPAC) is gearing up to host the second edition of Oja Oge by Ecobank, a three-day pop-up marketplace celebrating fashion, beauty, wellness, and lifestyle. The event will run from April 18 to 20, 2025, and will feature a wide array of top brands and entrepreneurs offering exclusive discounts.
Leading exhibitors confirmed for the marketplace include Adidas, House of Tara, Winston Leather, Ava and George Children’s Clothing, Chenche Clothing, Lush Hair, among others. Shoppers can expect discounts ranging from 10% to 50%, designed to provide a premium shopping experience at unbeatable prices.
Omoboye Odu, Head of SME, Partnerships and Collaborations at Ecobank Nigeria, expressed her enthusiasm ahead of the event. “We are thrilled by the overwhelming interest from exhibitors. The attractive discounts will create an energetic and engaging environment for attendees. This year’s Oja Oge will be an extraordinary celebration of African fashion, culture, and entrepreneurship,” she said.
According to Odu, Oja Oge is more than just a retail event—it is a cultural experience. “Visitors will enjoy beauty makeovers, live band performances, daily fashion shows featuring designers such as Oshobor, Jon Pelumi, and Y’wandelag, as well as fun zones including Gameland for adults and dedicated spaces for children like Kid Zone and Books by Omolara,” she explained. “There will also be a beauty parlour for women, and guests will stand a chance to win various prizes.”
The event underscores Ecobank’s commitment to supporting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by offering them a platform to showcase their products and foster growth. In addition to shopping, attendees will enjoy rich cultural entertainment, including traditional folk music.
The Oja Oge marketplace will take place at the Ecobank Pan African Centre in Lagos. With its mix of commerce, creativity, and culture, the event promises to be a vibrant and memorable experience for all.
