Over the past five years, it has empowered a growing community of students, researchers, startup founders, and innovators, transforming promising ideas into practical solutions with real-world impact.
This year’s Innovation Fair promises to showcase just how far that journey has come and the exciting possibilities that still lie ahead.
Visitors will explore innovative products and technology solutions developed by startups within the NITHub ecosystem, witness live innovation showcases and technology demonstrations by students, researchers, and partner organisations, and experience the excitement of the Startup Demo Day, where selected ventures will pitch their solutions before investors, venture capitalists, angel investors, and other key players in the innovation ecosystem.
The Fair will also create valuable opportunities for networking and strategic partnerships among academia, industry, government, development organisations, and innovation leaders, further strengthening the University’s role as a catalyst for technological advancement.

For aspiring innovators, it is an opportunity to discover what is possible when bold ideas meet the right support.
For entrepreneurs and startup founders, it is a platform to connect with investors, mentors, collaborators, and partners who can help turn promising innovations into thriving enterprises.
For the University community, it is another powerful reminder that innovation is not simply taught at UNILAG. It is cultivated, tested, refined, and launched into the world.

As the University continues to strengthen its position as a leading centre for innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology development in West Africa, NITHub Innovation Fair 2026 reflects its enduring commitment to transforming knowledge into impact and ideas into enterprises.
Students, members of staff, alumni, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, development partners, industry stakeholders, and the general public are warmly invited to be part of this landmark celebration of creativity, collaboration, and technological excellence.
Tomorrow is already taking shape. Come to NITHub, UNILAG and see those building the next wave of innovation.

Time: 12:00 noon

Presented as part of THA344 (African/Caribbean Theatre Laboratory), the Carnival is far more than an annual tradition. It is a practical academic production through which 300-level students translate classroom learning into immersive public performance, demonstrating their understanding of African and Caribbean theatre, cultural history, cuisine, performance techniques, costume design, music, movement, and storytelling.
Each edition challenges students to think creatively, work collaboratively, and transform ideas into unforgettable experiences, with every stage of the production contributing to their academic assessment.
Celebrating its 20+1 Edition, this year’s Carnival embraces the cultural concept, “One Continent, One Carnival,” bringing together the vibrant traditions of Africa, Brazil, Haiti, Jamaica, The Bahamas, and Trinidad & Tobago in a colourful fusion of music, dance, theatre, fashion, and cultural expression.
Against the backdrop of a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, this year’s performances invite audiences to reflect on the enduring qualities that define humanity: creativity, culture, imagination, empathy, and our ability to tell stories that connect generations.
It is another reminder that some of the most powerful learning happens when knowledge steps beyond the classroom and comes alive before an audience.
Students, members of staff, alumni, and the general public are warmly invited to experience a tradition that has inspired audiences for more than two decades while celebrating the next generation of creative talents emerging from UNILAG.
Come and witness the culmination of months of dedication as our students transform ideas into performance and the classroom theories into a living celebration of culture. Beyond the costumes, music, and spectacle lies the story of young creatives discovering their voices, refining their craft, and sharing with the world what they have spent an entire semester creating.
