A new, advanced facility for leather processing and manufacturing has been officially opened in the Mushin area of Lagos State. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced that the complex is expected to provide direct employment for up to 10,000 people and produce over $250 million in yearly export earnings once it reaches full operational capacity.
The inauguration ceremony was performed by the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as a key part of her multi-day working visit to Lagos. In a tribute to her advocacy for community-level social investment programs, the hub has been dedicated in her name. Aligning with this focus on empowerment, a significant majority of the positions—70 percent—will be allocated to women and young people.
The center is outfitted with contemporary industrial equipment intended to bolster nano, micro, small, and medium-scale businesses. This infrastructure will facilitate the large-scale production of various leather goods, including footwear, handbags, belts, and specialized packaging materials.
