The forthcoming Nigeria Auto Industry Summit (NAISU) scheduled to hold in Lagos on July 31, 2025, is gaining support as the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) and other automobile giants have endorsed the conference.
Toyota Nigeria Limited, Carloha, Weststar Associates Limited, Lanre Shittu Motors (LSM) and Nord are among other stakeholders that have confirmed their participation in this year’s event.
Apart from NADDC, other major organisations partnering with NAJA to host this year’s programme are the Nigeria Association of Automotive Manufacturers (NAMA) and African Association of Automobile Manufacturers (AAAM).
Riding on the huge success of the maiden edition held last year and with a lot of interest coming from stakeholders and prospective participants, the organisers believe that this year’s summit would also be very successful.
NAJA in a statement gave the theme of this year’s event holding in Lagos as: Nigeria First: Local Content As Catalyst For Automotive Economy.

Commenting on the summit, the Organizing Committee Chairman, said: “Last year, NAJA premiered the Nigeria Auto Industry Summit (NAISU) as a platform for stakeholders and participants to converge and critically x-ray the auto industry and proffer solutions that will take the industry to greater heights for the benefits of all players in the industry and Nigerians at large.
“For this year, critical government agencies like NADDC, Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and others have also confirmed their participation for this year’s event.
Also commenting on the event, Theodore Opara, Chairman of NAJA, stated: “NAISU has come to stay as evidenced by the wholehearted embrace by the stakeholders in the auto industry.
“And the interests already received this year show that this event is on the right trajectory for the benefit of all in the industry.
“Also, this year promises to radically work on entrenching local content and work more on the long-awaited Auto Industry Development Plan of the federal government, which also remains a focal point of discussions in the sector.
“This year’s NAISU promises to be a better version of last year and plans are already in top gear to ensure all expectations are met and exceeded”.
