Made In Nigeria Shoe Expo (MINSE) Abuja

The Made in Nigeria Shoe Expo (MINSE) is an annual trade fair that has served since its inception in 2016 as a platform showcasing the creative, industrial, and economic strength of Nigeria’s footwear and leather industry.

The event is held at the Arts and Culture Exhibition Pavilion Centre, strategically located next to the Abuja International Conference Centre in the heart of Nigeria’s capital city. Once a year, professionals from across the footwear and leather value chain gather here—manufacturers, designers, traders, academic institutions, government representatives, and investors—not only to showcase their products but also to forge partnerships and shape future initiatives.

MINSE is organized by Logsames Limited, a company specializing in trade fair management with deep roots in Nigeria’s industrial and commercial landscape. Key focus areas include the promotion of local shoe production, sustainable design and materials, the application of advanced manufacturing technologies, export potential, and policy measures aimed at strengthening domestic industry.

The exhibition covers the entire value chain—from raw materials and production equipment to finished goods and services in education, retail, logistics, and finance. Practical solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises, the backbone of the industry, are a particular priority.

Exhibitors represent all relevant sectors, from tanneries, machinery manufacturers, and chemical suppliers to fashion and accessory labels. The fair attracts a wide range of industry professionals, including producers, wholesalers, buyers, designers, start-ups, government bodies, and educational institutions.

MINSE offers valuable insight into the latest trends and developments in the sector. It is more than a specialized trade fair—it is a reflection of Nigeria’s vibrant economic and cultural momentum. The centrally located venue is easily accessible by both public transport and private vehicle, providing ideal conditions for meaningful engagement at both national and international levels.

Visitors and exhibitors meet for the 7th time on the Made In Nigeria Shoe Expo (MINSE) on 3 days from Thur., 27.11.2025 to Sat., 29.11.2025 in Abuja.
