Big 5 Construct Nigeria takes place at the Landmark Centre on Victoria Island, Lagos, in September 2026. Part of the international Big 5 construction event series, it is a leading West African trade show for building and construction, covering materials, machinery, tools, MEP, and building technology. The fair brings together contractors, developers, engineers, architects, distributors and building-material suppliers from Nigeria and across the region, filling the waterfront Landmark Centre over its run. Victoria Island is Lagos's principal business district, and its hotel supply is in high demand year-round, so rooms near the Landmark Centre and across the Victoria Island and Ikoyi districts book up early during show week as exhibitors and buyer delegations arrive together. Rates rise and free-cancellation inventory thins as the dates approach, and Lagos traffic makes a well-placed hotel especially valuable. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates for hotels around the Landmark Centre, sorted by real distance from the venue, so you can compare genuinely near-venue options against wider Victoria Island and Ikoyi alternatives before you commit.

Where to eat during Big 5 Construct Nigeria
Trade-fair days run at Tafawa Balewa Square on Lagos Island, but every serious business dinner happens across the bridge on Victoria Island, Ikoyi or Lekki, where the corporate hotels sit. Budget 15-25 minutes by car to VI/Ikoyi and 30-60 to Lekki depending on the notorious Lagos traffic, so book a driver and leave early.

Getting there
From Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS)
- LOS is Lagos's main international gateway on the mainland, and Victoria Island lies across the lagoon from it.
- Road transfers to Victoria Island can take anywhere from about 45 minutes to well over two hours depending on Lagos traffic, so allow generous time.
- Pre-booked hotel transfers or a trusted driver are strongly recommended over hailing on arrival.
Getting around during Big 5 Construct Nigeria
Getting around Lagos and reaching the venue
- Ride-hailing apps (Uber, Bolt) are widely used on Victoria Island and are the most practical way to move.
- Many Victoria Island and Ikoyi hotels are a short ride from the Landmark Centre, so a well-placed room minimises exposure to traffic.
- Lagos congestion is severe at peak hours, so schedule journeys around the worst windows and leave early for the venue.
Visa & entry
Entry to Nigeria
- Nigeria offers an electronic visa and visa-on-arrival programme for many business travellers, alongside standard consular visas.
- Business visitors typically need a business visa or approved visa-on-arrival, and often proof of yellow fever vaccination.
- Apply well in advance, as processing and required documentation can take time.
Entry requirements change frequently and vary by nationality; always verify with the official Nigerian Immigration Service or your nearest embassy before booking.
First time at Big 5 Construct Nigeria?
- Lagos traffic is heavy, so stay on Victoria Island or Ikoyi near the Landmark Centre to keep commutes short.

- Carry proof of yellow fever vaccination, which is commonly required for entry.

Insider tips from repeat attendees
- A near-venue Victoria Island hotel lets you walk or take a very short ride to the Landmark Centre and avoid the worst traffic.
- Plan meetings to avoid morning and evening rush windows, when Lagos travel times balloon.
- Victoria Island and Ikoyi have strong restaurant and hotel options for business dinners within a short ride.
- Build a large time buffer for the airport run on departure day, as bridge and mainland traffic is unpredictable.
