5

Sector hubs your delegates can map a site visit, guest speaker, or post-class field study against.

01

Fintech & Payments

  • Flutterwave
  • Paystack
  • Interswitch
  • Moniepoint

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.

02

Technology & Startups

  • Co-Creation Hub (CcHub)
  • Andela
  • Jumia

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.

03

Banking & Financial Services

  • Zenith Bank
  • Ecobank Nigeria
  • Stanbic IBTC

Lagos is Nigeria's financial centre, home to the Nigerian Stock Exchange and headquarters of the country's largest commercial banks.

04

Oil & Gas

  • Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL)
  • Shell Nigeria
  • TotalEnergies Nigeria

Many international oil and gas companies maintain their Nigerian operational headquarters in Lagos, making it relevant for energy-sector delegates.

05

Creative Industries & Nollywood

  • EbonyLife Studios
  • Terra Kulture

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

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.
