With NADDC support, Abuja Motor Fair returns to Eagle Square after 9 years

The heart of Nigeria’s capital is set to roar back to life as the 25th Abuja International Motor Fair makes a historic return to Eagle Square from November 24–28, 2025—nine years after it last graced the iconic venue.

This Silver Jubilee edition of the nation’s premier auto event promises more than just a spectacle of shiny hoods and roaring engines.
This, according BKG Exhibitions Limited,  organisers of the annual event, marks a new chapter in Nigeria’s automotive journey as it will be powered by the bold leadership of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) and its transformative Director General, Mr. Joseph Osanipin.

🚘 NADDC revs up Nigeria’s auto revival

At the centre of this historic comeback is Mr. Osanipin, whose vision and hands-on leadership are being widely hailed as the driving force behind Nigeria’s automotive renaissance.
With a laser focus on local auto parts manufacturing, vehicle assembly, and positioning Nigeria as the Automobile Hub of Africa, Osanipin is not just reviving an industry—he is said to be redefining its future.

“This is more than a motor fair—it’s a statement,” said a senior industry stakeholder.
“The return to Eagle Square reflects confidence, ambition, and a clear road map for industrial transformation.”

🇳🇬 A presidential vision accelerated

BKG notes that the motor fair’s return is also being seen as a nod to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s strategic leadership—particularly his knack for appointing bold reformers to key national institutions. The results of Osanipin’s appointment are already being felt across the automotive landscape.

Under his tenure, Nigeria’s auto sector is said to have seen renewed investor interest, policy clarity, and increased public-private collaboration aimed at boosting local content and export potential.

A global platform, local powerhouse

The 25th Abuja Motor Fair, now fully adopted by NADDC, will gather auto giants, government officials, manufacturers, investors, and innovators from around the world. Beyond vehicle showcases, the event will spotlight Nigeria’s evolving auto ecosystem—from government initiatives to private-sector breakthroughs.

With participation expected from the Presidency, National Assembly, State Governments, and international investors, this year’s fair is being positioned as a catalyst for policy dialogue, strategic partnerships, and sustainable investment in Nigeria’s auto industry.

Since its inception, the Abuja Motor Fair has held its place as West Africa’s flagship automotive event. This year’s Silver Jubilee edition promises to be the biggest and boldest yet—blending legacy with innovation to chart the next 25 years of auto excellence in Nigeria.
The organisers says whether you’re a car lover, policy thinker, industrialist, or investor, November 24–28 is a date to mark. Eagle Square is back—and so is the future of Nigeria’s auto industry.
