Sector-level context showing where this capability is relevant in Lagos.
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
No direct flights were confirmed from New Zealand to Lagos; typical itineraries connect via hubs such as Doha, Dubai, or Singapore on Qatar Airways, Emirates, or Singapore Airlines, with Lagos arrival at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS). Total journey time is typically around 24–30 hours depending on the routing and layover length.
Visa
Nigeria now requires an eVisa obtained online before travel — the former Visa-on-Arrival system was discontinued in May 2025. ECOWAS citizens remain visa-free for up to 90 days; all other delegates must apply via the Nigeria Immigration Service eVisa portal and receive approval (typically within 24–48 hours) before departure. A valid Yellow Fever vaccination certificate is mandatory for entry.
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.
