As part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria\u2019s creative economy and promote youth empowerment, Ecobank Nigeria Limited recently partnered Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) to host the Lagos Pop-Up Museum, a multidisciplinary art and innovation exhibition scheduled to hold from November 8, 2025, to February 2026.
The initiative, jointly organised by the Yaba Art Museum and the Ecobank Pan-African Centre, seeks to showcase Nigeria\u2019s artistic excellence while advancing cultural preservation and fostering collaboration between corporate and educational institutions.
Speaking during a courtesy visit to the college, Mr. Bolaji Lawal, Managing Director of Ecobank Nigeria, reiterated the bank\u2019s commitment to promoting creativity and innovation as vital tools for national development.
\u201cWe recognise the pivotal role Yaba College of Technology plays in nurturing Nigeria\u2019s creative community,\u201d he said. \u201cOur objective is to give greater visibility to the remarkable work emanating from this institution through the Ecoscopic Pop-Up Museum. We are fully committed to ensuring that this partnership yields lasting impact, especially for young people whose talents continue to define the nation\u2019s creative landscape.\u201d
Lawal noted that Ecobank\u2019s collaboration with YABATECH represents a strategic investment in social and economic value creation through art and culture. He pledged the bank\u2019s financial and promotional support to ensure the project\u2019s success and visibility.
He also reaffirmed the bank\u2019s pride in partnering with YABATECH, saying that the collaboration represents a commitment to \u201ccreating positive social impact and protecting the legacy of an institution that continues to contribute immensely to national development.\u201d
The Rector of YABATECH, Dr. Ibraheem Abdul, described the partnership as a welcome development that aligns with the institution\u2019s mission of fostering creativity and innovation among its students.
\u201cWe are delighted to collaborate with Ecobank on this important project. Our students, whom we regard as our diamonds, will benefit immensely from this initiative, which provides an avenue to showcase their skills and creative potential,\u201d Abdul explained. \u201cBeyond the Pop-Up Museum, we look forward to expanding this partnership into other mutually beneficial areas.\u201d
Providing details of the upcoming exhibition, Dr. Odun Orimolade, Curatorial Director of the Yaba Art Museum, stated that the Lagos Pop-Up Museum will feature five thematic halls addressing critical issues such as restitution, archiving, sustainability, and water consciousness.
She disclosed that one of the highlights, the Adoption Hall, will allow artists, alumni, and patrons to donate or purchase artworks, with proceeds directed towards sponsoring the education of indigent YABATECH students.
\u201cOur goal is to support up to a thousand students through this model, creating a sustainable framework for art-based philanthropy. If successful, this initiative could serve as a national template for supporting underprivileged youths through creative engagement,\u201d Orimolade said.
He added that the exhibition will draw participation from multiple academic departments, including Marine Engineering, Mathematics, Biological Sciences, and Hospitality and Tourism, to reflect the college\u2019s commitment to interdisciplinary learning and innovation.<\/p>\n
