Building Africa's Future,
One Solution At A Time
At SKLD our work goes beyond products — we're building sustainable supply chains, supporting communities, and creating long-term value for our partners.
Empowering Education
Through Innovation, Quality
& Reliability

Established in 2000, we began as a single-source destination for back-to-school supplies in Lagos, Nigeria. Over two decades of unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional value, we have expanded our retail network into the largest in the country for all things back-to-school shopping. In addition to educational supplies, we now offer a comprehensive range of office and lifestyle products through multiple channels including contracts, wholesale, retail, and online.
With the inclusion of office and lifestyle products, Skit Store has evolved into a one-stop-shop not only for parents but also professionals, college students, and anyone seeking a diverse selection of office supplies, gadgets, travel gear, fitness equipment, sleepwear, and personalized items.
We are not just suppliers
—we are builders of futures.
What started as a dream to provide better learning environments for Nigerian students has grown into a multi-sectoral company impacting education, Humanitarian aid, corporate, manufacturing and retail across MEA.
