The 2025 edition of the annual Lagos Motor Fair and Auto Parts Expo is to hold March 12 to14, 2025, at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island. The event usually attracts both international and local exhibitors and participants.
According to BKG Exhibitions Limited, the organizer of the event, the show would be unique and as it is being packaged to draw people that matter to offer practical solutions to issues facing the auto industry development in Africa.
Managing Director of BKG Exhibitions, Mr. Ifeanyi Agwu, said apart from the new vehicle display with solutions and auto parts sections, a conference of auto parts market leaders would be a new addition for this year’s package.
Speaking in Lagos on Tuesday in the preparation for the event, the MD said “This year, we’re focusing on auto parts. We shall be having a conference of auto part market leaders in Africa to talk about fake products and other challenges facing the business.
“We’re building a channel where all manufacturers can be connected. This will be a turning point in the auto fair, we are taking it to the highest level.
“Going forward, what we’ll be having at the Lagos motor fair and auto part show will be comparable with the best in the world.”
He expressed concern over the downturn in the auto business in Nigeria and indeed the entire African continent.
However, the BKG boss commended the Director General, National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Mr Joseph Osanipin, for offering a listening ear to vital suggestions and collaborating with relevant stakeholders to address problems besetting the industry.
“There has not been any DG like him in terms of support to stakeholders like us. Most of the things I advocate such as encouraging production of parts, he’s absorbing and working on them,” he said.
While the Lagos auto parts expo will be the 12th edition this year, Lagos Motor Fair is the 19th. They will be held simultaneously with the Africa Motorcycle and Parts Expo.
