The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) has opened applications for free exhibition booths at the Nigeria First Fair 2026 in Lagos.
The fair will hold from November 8 to 10 at the Ecobank Pan African Centre (EPAC), Lagos. Organisers expect 10,000 shoppers and 156 Nigerian businesses, giving exhibitors an opportunity to showcase products and sell directly to customers.
Only 30 booths are available free of charge. The event is part of the National MSME Conference 2026 and its Grow MSME Marketplace.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must:
- Have a business registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
- Have operated for at least two years.
- Consent to Ecobank onboarding.
Applicants should check the full criteria before applying. Submitting an application does not guarantee a booth, as spaces are limited.
