It is a strategic and timely initiative aimed at placing local manufacturers across the entire footwear and leather value chain on the global map, thus creating the necessary visibility for local brands in Nigeria.
The Expo aims to: engender create exposure and visibility for local shoe and leather designers and producers , educate local manufacturers on the current dynamics of doing business in Nigeria’s footwear sector, identify alternative raw materials for footwear products and accessories readily available locally, and identify plausible strategies to instill quality compliance with manufacturers in the sector.
The primary target at the Expo is to expand and consolidate the market share of Made in Nigeria footwear and leather products both locally and in neighbouring ECOWAS member states. The Expo would also look to build the capacity of local finished leather goods producers to compete locally, increase her domestic market share from a meagre 10%, and expand export capacity for finished leather goods.
