Lagos has unveiled a 150,000 capacity Leather Hub aimed at empowering artisans, promoting locally made leather goods and creating jobs across the value chain. The facility is expected to strengthen Nigeria’s leather industry and reduce reliance on imports. Nigeria’s first lady Oluremi Tinubu officially opened the hub on Saturday 23rd August 2025 and called it a sign that Lagos is leading in innovation and enterprise. She said the project aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda focused on industrialisation, digitalisation, creative arts and manufacturing. "Leatherworking is a traditional craft that has stood the test of time. I’m informed this hub will serve as a centre for leather processing, footwear production and specialised training, enabling artisans to add great value to their craft and compete competently in both local and international markets. I urge those utilising this facility to dedicate themselves to excellence, hard work, continuous learning and good works to compete in the global market" Oluremi Tinubu, First Lady of Nigeria Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu described the hub as the first of its kind in Nigeria and a gateway to global competitiveness. He said the facility would transform locally sourced hides into world-class footwear, garments and accessories stamped as made in Lagos. "It is a launch-pad to thousands of decent jobs and a shining example of the power of visionary governance and proposal partnership between the federal government and the state government" Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Governor of Lagos State The hub is expected to create 10,000 direct and indirect jobs over the next three years with more than 70 percent reserved for women and youth. Over 150,000 artisans nationwide will benefit from training and start-up support. Lagos also anticipates generating over $200 million in exports annually once the hub becomes fully operational. Nigeria’s leather industry contributes significantly to the economy, particularly through non-oil exports and job creation. It is estimated to generate $600 to $800 million annually through leather exports, and the new hub is expected to expand these figures while boosting local employment.
