Fintech & Payments
Lagos is Africa's fintech capital. Delegates in technology, risk, or financial services training will find direct relevance in the city's dense payments ecosystem.
Technology & Startups
The Yaba district — nicknamed 'Yabacon Valley' — anchors a startup ecosystem of over 2,000 tech companies, making Lagos a living case study in digital innovation.
Banking & Financial Services
Lagos is Nigeria's financial centre, home to the Nigerian Stock Exchange and headquarters of the country's largest commercial banks.
Oil & Gas
Many international oil and gas companies maintain their Nigerian operational headquarters in Lagos, making it relevant for energy-sector delegates.
Creative Industries & Nollywood
Lagos drives Nollywood — one of the world's largest film industries — alongside a thriving music, fashion, and arts scene relevant to media and IP training.
Training venue
Lagos offers international-standard hotels and conference facilities on Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and Ikeja, with properties equipped for corporate training, AV setups, and business-class accommodation. Delegates should expect variable power supply mitigated by generator backup at quality venues.
Getting there
Murtala Muhammed International Airport (IATA: LOS) in Ikeja is the main gateway, approximately 12 km from central Lagos. Ride-hailing apps (Uber, Bolt) are the safest transfer option; allow 45 minutes to 2 hours to reach Victoria Island or Lekki depending on Lagos traffic, and depart for the airport at least 3–4 hours before international flights.
Visa
Costa Rica passport holders need a Nigeria e-Visa for a professional training trip to Lagos; the e-Visa page for Costa Rican nationals states a total fee of $190 and a non-extendable stay of 30 days, with business visas listed among the available categories.
Safety
Use reputable ride-hailing apps rather than unmarked taxis, avoid displaying valuables openly, and stick to well-lit, populated areas after dark. Keep digital copies of travel documents and confirm current safety advice with your hotel or local host upon arrival.
