To be held under the theme “Driving the Future of Mobility in Nigeria,” this year’s fair will spotlight cutting-edge innovations in automotive technology, electric vehicles, and sustainable transport solutions.

Running from Tuesday, November 18 to Friday, November 21, 2025, at Eagle Square, the event is expected to draw thousands of visitors, including top government officials, corporate fleet buyers, car enthusiasts, and key players across Nigeria’s automotive ecosystem.

“This silver jubilee edition is not just a celebration of our journey so far — it is a bold statement about where mobility in Nigeria is headed,” said the organizing committee.

“We are pulling out all the stops to deliver a show that connects brands with consumers, showcases innovations, and sets the tone for the industry’s future.”

Several of Nigeria’s biggest automotive brands have confirmed their participation, securing large exhibition spaces and promising exciting model debuts and product showcases.

Headlining exhibitors are Toyota Nigeria, Mikano Motors, Coscharis Motors, and Cedric Autos, among others.

A statement by the organisers said visitors should expect to see a wide range of vehicles, from fuel-efficient sedans and rugged SUVs to electric buses and heavy-duty trucks.

It listed some of the confirmed models as follows:

High demand for exhibition space

With prime space at Eagle Square limited and major brands already locked in, organizers are urging other stakeholders — including auto service companies, spare parts dealers, financial institutions, and insurance firms — to secure their booths early.

“We are seeing a surge in bookings. To avoid missing out, interested companies must act fast to align with the marketing blitz we’re rolling out,” the committee stated.

“This is a rare opportunity to connect directly with thousands of consumers, corporate buyers, and decision-makers.”
