Local transport
Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Ride-hailing car (app booked)
Estimated costApprox. NGN 12,000-25,000 one way, lower band off-peak and higher band in peak traffic; confirm the app quote before accepting
Best forMurtala Muhammed Domestic Terminal (MMA2) (LOS) to Landmark Centre
Book inside the terminal or at a designated app pickup point, share the trip with a colleague and keep naira cash or a working card as backup. Lagos traffic can double the journey time between 07:00-10:00 and 16:00-20:00.
Airport taxi (metered or pre-booked)
Estimated costApprox. NGN 15,000-30,000 one way depending on vehicle class; agree the fare before departure
Best forLOS international terminal to Victoria Island hotel district
Use an official airport taxi desk or a hotel-arranged transfer rather than unmarked cars; pre-booking removes fare negotiation after a long flight.
BRT bus (LAMATA corridors)
Estimated costApprox. NGN 500-1,500 per single journey depending on corridor length; confirm the current LAMATA fare on boarding
Best forBRT corridor routes toward Victoria Island / CMS axis
Lagos BRT is the cheapest scheduled option but requires a walk or short ride from the corridor stop to Landmark Centre; avoid peak hours with exhibition cases and samples.
Danfo minibus
Estimated costApprox. NGN 300-1,000 per leg, cash only; confirm the fare with the conductor before boarding
Best forLocal shuttle legs within Victoria Island and to the venue approach roads
Blue minibuses cover dense local routes and fill gaps left by BRT, but stops and routes are informal - useful only for short hops with local guidance.
Private car or hotel shuttle
Estimated costApprox. NGN 3,000-8,000 per one-way drop-off for a hotel car or shuttle; confirm whether the service is complimentary
Best forVictoria Island hotels to Landmark Centre
Several Victoria Island hotels are within roughly 1-2 km of Landmark Centre, so a shuttle or short taxi hop is often faster than repositioning a rental car during show week.
On-site parking (private vehicle)
Estimated costApprox. NGN 2,000-5,000 per day for venue parking; confirm the current rate and hall access rules with the organiser or venue
Best forLandmark Centre car park, Victoria Island
Drive-in access suits exhibitors moving samples and stand materials; arrive before opening to secure a bay and allow time for security checks at the gate.
Weather
February 2027 falls inside Lagos' dry season: expect hot, humid days with highs near 31-33 C and nights around 24-26 C, strong air conditioning indoors and high humidity outdoors. Rainfall is limited to occasional short showers, and harmattan haze can soften the sky early in the month. Pack light business clothing, a light rain layer and a UK Type G adapter for 230 V/50 Hz power; keep water handy and plan walkable hotel-to-venue transfers for the hottest part of the afternoon. Confirm the forecast in the week before travel.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Greetings and titles
Handshakes and a clear greeting open most meetings in Lagos. Use titles such as Engineer, Dr or Chief where they apply, and address senior utility or DisCo staff formally until invited otherwise.
Language in the hall
English is the business language of the show, with Nigerian Pidgin and Yoruba used in informal conversation. Ask for clarification rather than assuming technical shorthand translates directly.
Punctuality and traffic
Meetings usually start late rather than early, but build in 45-90 minutes of road time across Victoria Island and the bridges. Confirm a meeting by messaging the same morning.
Naira, cards and cash
The naira (NGN) is the local currency. Cards work at major hotels and supermarkets, while cash is expected for BRT, minibuses and small purchases; keep small notes for everyday payments.
Business cards and follow-up
Exchange cards at the start of a stand conversation and follow up by email or WhatsApp within a few days. Quotations are often discussed in both naira and US dollars for imported electrical equipment.
Dress and climate
Smart business dress with light fabrics suits the February heat; halls are heavily air-conditioned, so a jacket or scarf helps during long sessions. Comfortable shoes matter for large exhibition floors.
Security and site access
Expect bag checks at hotels, malls and the venue. Carry a photo ID, keep valuables in the hotel safe and use hotel-arranged or app-booked transport at night.
Food, water and hospitality
Bottled water is the safe default. Business hospitality often happens over lunch after the hall closes, and accepting a meal or a soft drink is a normal relationship step; alcohol is optional and often declined.
