Ecobank, Qatar Airways reward exhibitors at major fair


Ecobank Nigeria has partnered with Qatar Airways to reward the outstanding exhibitors at the recently concluded ‘Oja Oge by Ecobank’ fair.

According to a statement from the bank on Sunday, the top-performing vendors won flight tickets and cash at the event where the awards were presented to them.

‘Oja Oge’ Fair was a three-day fashion, beauty, and lifestyle event held in Lagos that showcased the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of local businesses, providing a platform for visibility, sales growth, and market expansion.

The top prize went to Goodness and Mercy Hair, a Qatar Airways business class ticket to any destination of choice—for achieving the highest gross sales in value. Clandini received an economy class ticket to any global destination as the second-highest seller by gross sales, and Accessories by Morgan got N750,000 for generating the highest volume of transactions during the fair.

Speaking at the award presentation, Head of SME Banking at Ecobank Nigeria, Omoboye Odu, commended the exhibitors for their innovation and product quality.

She also expressed gratitude to Qatar Airways and other partners for supporting the second edition of the bank’s flagship fashion pop-up event.

“This fair exemplifies our ongoing commitment to empowering local entrepreneurs,” Odu said. “It provided vendors with a unique opportunity to showcase their offerings, attract new customers, forge valuable business connections, and explore broader markets.”

Odu further highlighted the fair’s role in fostering engagement between emerging brands and local as well as international consumers.

Ecobank Nigeria Ltd. is a subsidiary of the Ecobank Group, the leading pan-African banking group with a presence in 33 African countries and international offices in London, Paris, Beijing, and Dubai.
