Event Halls in Oniru, Lekki — A Complete Venue Guide for 2026

Finding a good event hall in Oniru is harder than it should be.


You know the frustration. You start searching, you get a list of venues with no photos, no clear pricing, and a phone number that rings out.


Or you find somewhere that looks promising until you visit and realise the "fully equipped" hall means one projector, two tables, and a generator that cuts in three minutes late.

Oniru is a premium address in Lagos.


The people hosting events there are corporate organisations, families planning weddings and birthdays. brands running activations, expect a venue that matches that address. And they should.


This guide covers what to look for when booking an event hall in Oniru, and walks you through the four event spaces available at Banex Mall on Akiogun Road, Oniru, Lekki Phase 1 with prices, capacities, and what each hall is actually best suited for.


What to Look for in an Event Hall in Oniru


Before comparing specific venues, the basics that every Oniru event hall should offer:


Consistent power supply.

Lagos power cuts are a reality. An event hall in Oniru without a generator backup is a hall that will embarrass you in front of your guests. Non-negotiable.


Air conditioning

Lagos in any month is warm enough to make a room of 100 people uncomfortable within 30 minutes without it. If a venue quotes you a hall without confirming AC, ask specifically.


Parking.

Oniru and Lekki Phase 1 are car-dependent. If your guests can't park, some of them won't come, and those who do will arrive frustrated.


Clean facilities.

Restrooms at an event are more noticed than most hosts realise. Guests judge an event by the bathroom almost as much as the food.


Post-event clean-up.

Some venues charge extra for this, some include it. Know before you sign.


The Four Event Halls in Oniru (Banex Mall)


Banex Mall is located at Plot 1–10 Akiogun Road, Opposite Maroko Filling Station, Oniru, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.


All four event halls are in the same building, which means lift and escalator access, over 100 parking spaces on-site, and the ability to compare all spaces in a single visit.


Here is how they compare.


1. Church Hall — 170 Guests | ₦850,000


The Church Hall is the largest event space in Banex Mall and the right choice when you need scale, formality, and infrastructure in one room.


Capacity: 170 guests

Area: 203 square metres

Price: ₦850,000 per event


This hall has a built-in stage which immediately separates it from most venues in Oniru and Lekki Phase 1 that require you to bring your own stage equipment at additional cost. It is soundproofed, which matters enormously for concerts, church services, and events with live music.


There is a TV for projection included, and the seating arrangement for 170 guests comes pre-installed.


The additional benefits include access to mall discounts for guests, social media coverage on Banex Mall's platforms before, during, and after the event which is genuinely useful for corporate launches, product activations, and brand events that need documentation and reach.


Best for: Weddings, corporate events, conferences, concerts, seminars, social gatherings.


2. Studio Hall (Event Mode) — 130 Guests | ₦650,000


The Studio Hall sits between the Church Hall and the smaller Cinema Hall in terms of size and price. It is the most versatile event hall in the building.


Capacity: 130 guests

Area: 109 square metres

Price: ₦650,000 per event


What makes this hall practical is its combination of TV access for presentations, lift and escalator access for guests who need it, chairs available for additional rent if your configuration changes on the day, and the same generator backup and air conditioning as the larger hall at a notably lower price point.


For events where 170 guests is more than you need but 100 feels too intimate, the Studio Hall is the most sensible choice in Oniru's current event hall market.


Best for: Corporate meetings and trainings, birthdays, seminars and conferences, private celebrations, social gatherings, weddings.


3. Cinema Hall — 100 Guests | ₦600,000


The Cinema Hall is the most distinctive event space at Banex Mall, and arguably the most distinctive event hall in Oniru as a whole.


Capacity: 100 guests

Seating: Pre-installed red cinema chairs

Price: ₦600,000 per event


Most event halls in Lekki have standard chairs and tables. The Cinema Hall has permanent cinema-grade seating, a high-quality projector and screen, and a soundproofed room designed for an immersive audio-visual experience.


There is a popcorn and concession stand available which immediately solves the refreshments question for informal events.


The configuration is fixed: cinema chairs do not rearrange into a banquet layout so this hall is specific in what it does well.


For events where the audio-visual experience is the centrepiece, it does it better than any other event hall in Oniru.


Best for: Private film screenings, corporate presentations, birthday celebrations, conferences and seminars, intimate gatherings, special occasions.


4. Studio Hall (Rehearsal Mode) — 80 Persons | From ₦35,000/hour

The smallest of the four spaces operates on an hourly rate rather than a flat event fee, which makes it the most accessible option for smaller or ongoing bookings.


Capacity: 80 persons

Area: 100 square metres

Rehearsal rate: ₦35,000 per hour

Event rate: ₦50,000 per hour


This hall has full-length mirrors throughout which is rare for a rental space in Oniru or anywhere in Lekki Phase 1.


It also has rigging points and hanging fixtures for decor, lights, and drapes, a soundproofed room for complete privacy, and the freedom to customise your decoration as desired.


The mirror configuration makes this the only dedicated rehearsal hall in the Banex Mall building, and the hourly rate makes it viable for dance schools, fitness instructors, theatre companies, and corporate trainers who need a professional space without paying for a full-day event package.


Best for: Dance and choreography rehearsals, music and band rehearsals, theatre and drama practice, corporate workshops and trainings, fitness and wellness classes, private events and celebrations.
