The GTCO Food and Drink Special Edition 2025 was held on 20 and 21 December at the Landmark Water Corporation, Oniru, Lagos, drawing a large crowd of food lovers, families and entrepreneurs to the popular waterfront venue. The two-day event turned the Christmas season into a colourful celebration of flavours, culture and commerce, as Lagosians gathered to enjoy a wide variety of meals, drinks and festive treats in a lively and welcoming atmosphere.
This year’s edition was particularly special as it aligned with the Christmas season, a period known for love, sharing and togetherness. The venue was filled with joyful moments as families attended with their children, creating a friendly, family-oriented environment. The festive mood, enhanced by music and decorations, made the event not just a food exhibition but a social experience where people connected, relaxed and celebrated the end of the year.
Beyond the celebration, the GTCO Food and Drink Special Edition 2025 served as a major boost for vendors and small business owners. The event provided them with a valuable platform to showcase their products, expand their customer base and gain wider market exposure. Many vendors reported strong sales and increased visibility, especially as the Christmas period encouraged higher spending and support for local businesses.
GTCO also made transactions seamless by providing easy and secure payment options, ensuring smooth money transfers between customers and vendors throughout the event. This cashless-friendly approach reduced stress for businesses and buyers alike, allowing everyone to focus on enjoying the experience. As the event concluded, the 2025 edition stood out as a successful blend of festive celebration and economic empowerment, reinforcing GTCO’s commitment to supporting entrepreneurship and community growth.
