Elan Expo, organisers of Mega Project Nigeria Expo 2026, has announced that preparations are in top gear for the landmark 10th Edition of Nigeria’s premier infrastructure, construction, engineering and real estate exhibition, scheduled to hold from 25–27 August 2026 at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Themed “Building the Future: A Decade of Infrastructure, Innovation and National Development,” this year’s edition celebrates ten years of connecting government, investors, developers, contractors, engineers, manufacturers, consultants, financial institutions and technology providers to drive sustainable infrastructure and economic growth in Nigeria.
Speaking ahead of the event, the County Manager of the Mega Project Expo, Jude Chime said:
“As we celebrate our tenth edition, we are proud of the impact Mega Project Nigeria Expo has made in advancing collaboration, promoting innovation and creating business opportunities across Nigeria’s built environment. This milestone is not just a celebration of our journey but a renewed commitment to supporting the nation’s infrastructure and housing agenda.”
Over the past decade, Mega Project Nigeria Expo has grown into a strategic platform for promoting investment, technology transfer, business networking and policy dialogue within Nigeria’s construction and infrastructure ecosystem.
This year’s Expo will feature an international exhibition, high-level conferences, investment forums, business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) meetings, product launches, networking sessions and strategic discussions focused on infrastructure financing, housing development, smart cities, sustainable construction and public-private partnerships.
Strategic Partnerships
A major highlight of the 2026 edition is the strengthened collaboration with the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN) and the Mortgage Banking Association of Nigeria (MBAN). These partnerships underscore the Expo’s commitment to supporting housing development, expanding access to mortgage finance, encouraging investment in the real estate sector and fostering stronger collaboration between developers, financial institutions and policymakers.
The organisers are also working closely with public institutions, professional bodies and private-sector stakeholders to ensure the event delivers meaningful outcomes that contribute to national development.
Celebrating Excellence at the 10th Edition
As part of the tenth anniversary celebrations, Mega Project Nigeria Expo will honour more than 100 outstanding individuals, professional associations, government institutions and private-sector organisations whose contributions have significantly advanced engineering, construction, infrastructure development and the growth of the Expo over the past decade.
The recognition programme will celebrate distinguished engineers who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, technical excellence and professional service in their respective fields, while also acknowledging organisations and institutions whose partnership and support have been instrumental to the success of Mega Project Nigeria Expo during its first ten years.
The awards are intended to recognise excellence, inspire future innovation and celebrate the collective efforts of stakeholders who continue to shape Nigeria’s built environment.

Driving National Development
Mega Project Nigeria Expo 2026 is expected to facilitate new business partnerships, attract investment, promote technology transfer, strengthen local manufacturing, support job creation and encourage greater collaboration between the public and private sectors.
Chime said the exhibition will serve as a market place for financiers who are looking to finance viable construction and housing projects to stem the challenges that Developers face in sourcing for funding as a result of funding mix- match in the sector.
The organisers believe the Expo will continue to serve as a catalyst for infrastructure delivery, housing development and sustainable economic growth while reinforcing Nigeria’s position as one of Africa’s leading destinations for construction and infrastructure investment.
Government agencies, private-sector organisations, development partners, investors, exhibitors, industry professionals and members of the public are invited to participate in this landmark 10th edition.
