By OBIOMA TORI

THE 2025 edition of the Women in Business (WIB) Trade Fair is set to be the biggest yet, with Amstel Malta, MTN, Nigerian Breweries, and FIBI joining as partners, while First Bank emerges as the headline sponsor.

Scheduled for 31 October to 2 November 2025, at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, the event aims to boost women’s economic participation and expand business visibility. Organised by OKADS Seafoods with support from the Development Bank and SMEDAN, the fair will feature exhibitions, a village market, entertainment, and a kiddies zone.

Convener Ebiere Empere said the new venue was chosen to accommodate growing participation, with at least 100 local women traders receiving free exhibition spaces. She added that the fair would help shoppers prepare ahead of the Christmas season while stimulating Abuja’s economy.
