Ecobank Nigeria has announced the launch of the Ecobank SME Bazaar, a festive marketplace aimed at promoting local entrepreneurship and offering Lagos residents an enhanced shopping experience this December. The event will run across two weekends—29–30 November and 6–7 December—at the Ecobank Pan African Centre (EPAC) on Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Omoboye Odu, Head of SMEs at Ecobank Nigeria, said the initiative reinforces the bank’s commitment to supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, which she described as a critical pillar of the nation’s economy. She noted that the Bazaar was created to boost visibility for SMEs, widen market access, and drive sustainable growth.
“This isn’t just a market—it’s a vibrant hub of culture, commerce, and connection,” Odu said. “From fresh farm produce to fashion, handcrafted items, lifestyle products, and food and drinks, the Ecobank SME Bazaar promises an exciting experience for shoppers and participating businesses.”
She added that entrepreneurs taking part in the event will benefit from increased brand exposure, stronger customer engagement, and valuable networking opportunities, positioning the Bazaar as both a festive sales platform and a driver of long-term business expansion.
The event is organised by Ecobank in partnership with TKD Farms, Eko Marche, Leyyow, and other SME-focused organisations committed to building sustainable enterprises.
