Lagos governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu showed up at the Nigeria-South Africa Chamber of Commerce's 25th anniversary and dropped some news about the state hosting the Intra-Africa Trade Fair in 2027. He talked about how the chamber has been connecting businesses between the two countries for decades and pointed out that major South African companies like MTN, Shoprite, and Stanbic IBTC used those networks to break into Nigerian markets. The governor said Lagos wants to stay on top as the go-to spot for both Nigerian and South African businesses trying to scale up.

Chamber chair Ije Jidenma called the anniversary a celebration of how far the economic relationship has come between the two biggest economies in sub-Saharan Africa. She mentioned the chamber started small but turned into something legit over the years. South African Consul General Bobby Moroe gave what might be his last speech before heading home after almost nine years, saying the chamber kept business ties strong even when things got rough. He hyped up the African Continental Free Trade Agreement as a massive opportunity for the continent.
