Why the 4th Egg & Chicken Fiesta Is the Biggest Yet
This event took place on 24–25 March 2026. See the 2026 highlights or get notified about the 5th edition.
Introduction
Every year, something remarkable happens in the heart of Remo land. Poultry farmers, veterinary professionals, agribusiness leaders, feed manufacturers, equipment dealers, and everyday food lovers converge in Sagamu, Ogun State for one of the most anticipated agricultural events in Southwest Nigeria — the Egg & Chicken Fiesta.
This year, it is back for its 4th edition, and if the buzz surrounding the Remo 2026 Poultry Exhibition is anything to go by, this is the one nobody should miss.
Organized by the Poultry Association of Nigeria, Remo Zone (PANOG Remo Zone), the Egg & Chicken Fiesta has grown steadily from a modest local gathering into a full-scale industry exhibition that draws participants from across Ogun State and beyond. The 4th edition, holding on Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th of March 2026 at the Akarigbo Royal Palace Hall, Ita Oba, Sagamu, Ogun State, is set to be the most ambitious, most attended, and most impactful edition in the event’s history.
Here is a detailed look at what makes this year’s Fiesta stand out — and why you should already be making plans to be there.
A Theme That Speaks Directly to Nigeria’s Biggest Food Challenge
If there is one thing that sets the 4th Egg & Chicken Fiesta apart right from the start, it is the theme.
This year’s event is themed: “Addressing the Protein Gap and Food Security Through Efficient Poultry Production.”
This is not a generic agricultural slogan. It is a direct response to one of the most pressing challenges facing Nigerian households today. Protein deficiency remains a significant public health concern across the country, with millions of families — particularly in low and middle-income brackets — unable to consistently access affordable animal protein in their daily diets.
Poultry, both chicken and eggs, represents the most accessible and affordable source of animal protein available to the average Nigerian. Eggs in particular are one of the cheapest, most nutritious foods a family can put on the table. Yet, despite this, Nigeria continues to import large quantities of poultry products, and local production remains hampered by high feed costs, disease outbreaks, poor management practices, and limited access to modern farming knowledge.
The 4th Egg & Chicken Fiesta is designed to change that conversation. Every seminar, lecture, panel, and exhibition at this year’s event is deliberately aligned to equip poultry farmers with the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to produce more efficiently, reduce losses, and contribute to closing Nigeria’s protein gap from the ground up.
This is not just an event. It is a movement.
The Powerhouse Speaker Lineup
One of the clearest indicators that this year’s Fiesta has been elevated is the caliber of speakers assembled for the two-day programme. The organizing committee has brought together four seasoned professionals whose combined expertise covers the full spectrum of poultry farming challenges in Nigeria.
Pastor Taiwo Adeoye opens the event as the keynote speaker and theme presenter. His session, which anchors the entire two-day programme, is titled “Addressing the Protein Gap and Food Security Through Efficient Poultry Production.” As someone deeply familiar with both the spiritual and practical dimensions of community development, Pst. Adeoye brings a unique perspective on why food security is not just an economic issue but a moral and communal one.
Dr. Alao Mobolaji takes on one of the most feared challenges in poultry farming — disease. His lecture on “Disease Management: CRD in Poultry Production” will unpack Chronic Respiratory Disease, one of the leading causes of flock losses among Nigerian farmers. Many farmers lose significant portions of their birds to CRD annually, often without fully understanding what hit them. Dr. Mobolaji’s session promises practical, actionable insights that farmers can take directly back to their farms.
Dr. Ajibola Odukoya addresses an issue that is particularly relevant to the Southwest Nigerian climate — the impact of warm and wet weather on poultry health and productivity. His lecture, “Efficient Poultry Management in Warm/Wet Climate,” will cover how to adjust feeding, ventilation, stocking density, and health protocols to maintain productivity even when the weather is working against you.
Dr. Folusho Alabi rounds off the academic programme on Day 2 with a session that ties everything together: “The Right to Protein — How Poultry Products Are Filling the Gap.” This lecture takes a broader public health and policy angle, making the case for why expanding poultry production is not just good business but a national responsibility.
Four speakers. Four critical topics. Two days of learning that any serious poultry stakeholder simply cannot afford to skip.
Royal Endorsement and High-Profile Dignitaries
What truly signals that this year’s Fiesta has stepped into a new league is the level of official and royal support it has attracted.
Serving as the Royal Father and Grand Patron of the event is His Royal Majesty, Oba Dr. Babatunde Adewale Ajayi, the Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remoland. Having the paramount ruler not just endorse but actively patron the event speaks volumes about how deeply the Remo community values its poultry industry and the role this Fiesta plays in its development.
The Special Guest of Honour is Hon. (Dr.) Princess Adesola Ayoola-Elegbeji, a Member of the Federal House of Representatives representing the Sagamu, Ikenne, and Remo North Federal Constituency. Her presence at the event is significant — it signals that the advocacy happening at the Fiesta is reaching the halls of the National Assembly, and that there is political awareness of the poultry sector’s importance to food security at the federal level.
Also in attendance will be Hon. Bolu Owotomo, the Commissioner for Agriculture in Ogun State, alongside the three Remo Local Government Chairmen — representing Sagamu, Ikenne, and Remo North. The event is being chaired by Mr. Fidelis Nworu, MD/CEO of Agri Care Ltd., a respected voice in Nigeria’s agribusiness space.
This is the kind of gathering where decisions get made, policies get influenced, and real change for farmers becomes possible.
More Than a Seminar — A Full Two-Day Experience
One of the things that makes the Egg & Chicken Fiesta special is that it refuses to be just another conference. The organizing committee has consistently built the event as a full experience — educational, commercial, and celebratory all at once.
Here is a taste of what the two days will offer beyond the lectures:
Exhibition Stands and Product Tours Some of Nigeria’s leading poultry input companies will have live exhibition stands where farmers can see, touch, and ask questions about the latest feeds, medications, equipment, and technology available to them. Companies like Animal Care, CF Feed, New Hope Liuhe, Kachelan Pharma-Research, ADM, and many others will be on ground. This is a rare opportunity to compare products and speak directly to technical representatives in one place.
Product Launches The programme includes dedicated slots for product launches on both days, meaning attendees will be among the first in Nigeria to see new poultry products hitting the market. This alone makes attendance valuable for any farmer or agribusiness professional who wants to stay ahead of the curve.
Bonanza and Discount Sales For attending farmers, there will be on-site bonanza giveaways and special discounted pricing on selected products from exhibiting companies. Coming to the Fiesta could literally save you money on your next production cycle.
Cooking Competition and Chicken Processing Demonstration In what has become one of the most crowd-pleasing elements of the Fiesta, there will be a live cooking competition and chicken processing presentation. This bridges the gap between the farm and the table, and serves as a reminder of why everything the farmers do ultimately matters — it feeds people.
Networking and Exhibition Fiesta with Music Both days close with a networking session featuring music, fun, and what the programme describes as “varieties.” The poultry industry in Nigeria runs on relationships — knowing the right feed supplier, the right vet, the right buyer. The Fiesta’s networking sessions have historically been where some of the most valuable connections of the year get made.
A Growing Legacy — From Edition 1 to Edition 4
It is worth pausing to appreciate how far this event has come. The Egg & Chicken Fiesta did not start out as the large-scale exhibition it is today. It began as a vision within the PANOG Remo Zone to create a dedicated platform where poultry farmers in the Remo area could access quality knowledge, quality inputs, and quality community — all in one place.
Edition by edition, the event has grown. More sponsors. More speakers. More attendees. More dignitaries. More exhibiting companies. The snapshots from previous editions tell the story clearly — the halls fill up, the conversations get richer, and the impact on the farming community deepens year after year.
By the 4th edition, the Fiesta has established itself as a fixed date on the calendar for any serious player in Ogun State’s poultry industry. The organizing committee, led this year by Asiwaju Dr. Taiwo Olusanya, FNIM, has assembled one of the most detailed and well-structured programmes in the event’s history.
This is a community that is proud of what it has built — and rightfully so.
Who Should Attend?
The 4th Egg & Chicken Fiesta is relevant to a wide range of people:
Poultry farmers: whether you are running 500 birds or 50,000, you will leave with at least one piece of knowledge or one new contact that improves your next cycle.
Veterinary and animal health professionals: the seminar topics directly address current disease and management challenges in the field.
Agribusiness investors and entrepreneurs: the product launches, exhibitor conversations, and dignitary attendance make this an ideal environment to identify opportunities.
Students and young agripreneurs: Day 2 includes a dedicated student engagement slot, and the exposure to industry professionals at this stage of a career is invaluable.
Feed and input suppliers: if your products serve the poultry sector, your customers will be in that hall for two days.
Food entrepreneurs and processors: the cooking competition and chicken processing demonstration make this relevant beyond the farm gate.
