Govs, Investors’ Meeting, Others to Feature at 25th Abuja Motor Fair 

The Managing Director of BKG Exhibitions, Mr. Ifeanyichukwu Agwu, has announced that the highly anticipated 25th edition of the Abuja Motor Fair will be held from November 24 to 28, 2025, in Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory.

Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, Agwu described the upcoming edition as a landmark celebration, not only marking a quarter-century of consistent exhibitions but also signalling a renewed commitment to leveraging the automotive industry for national economic growth.

“We’ve been working on this event for the past two months,” Agwu stated. “This 25th edition will be bigger, more inclusive, and more strategically aligned with national development goals. 

“We’re planning a massive media campaign and stakeholders engagement across the country.”

BKG is aiming to use this platform to connect auto manufacturers, investors, government stakeholders, and the public in more meaningful ways than ever. 

As part of this, the organizers plan to visit key stakeholders with journalists before the event kicks off, generating broader awareness and deeper engagement.

A major feature of the fair this year will be state-level participation, with BKG targeting all 36 state governments to showcase their transport and mobility initiatives. 

This, the BKG boss said, would provide a great opportunity for state governments that have invested in transport terminals to promote it and for those intending to do so.

By providing a platform for state governments and auto companies to explore investment partnerships, the event is expected to foster practical solutions to Nigeria’s transportation and food distribution challenges.

Agwu emphasized that effective road transport systems could play a significant role in curbing inflation, lowering food prices, and reducing the cost of living. 

“We are creating an interface between policymakers, investors, and the transport industry. This is our contribution to economic development,” he said.

The fair will also host strategic sessions for principal officers and members of the National Assembly, aimed at influencing policy formulation and legislative support for the automotive and transport sectors.

To further underscore the economic and policy importance of the fair, special days will be set aside for state governors to address the press and meet directly with investors and auto companies.

In conclusion, Agwu expressed confidence that the increased competition and collaboration within the industry will benefit consumers and propel the sector forward.

“We’ve seen what competition can do. We’re prepared to do more. Competition is good for customers,” he said.

As preparations intensify, all eyes are now on November, when Nigeria’s capital city will become the hub of transport innovation, investment opportunities, and forward-thinking dialogue on how to move the country ahead – quite literally.

    Adire Teems, the Lagos based African fashion brand founded by Ebuka Ebuziem is representing Nigeria at the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) at the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) 2025 in Algiers, Algeria.

    CANEX (Creative Africa Nexus), organised under the broader Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF), has become one of the most important convenings for Africa’s creative industries. 

    With the theme “One People, United in Culture, Creating for the World,” CANEX 2025 promises to be the largest gathering of creatives from across Global Africa as it brought together leaders, businesses, governments, and investors to celebrate African talent, and build the networks and opportunities that will sustain its growth.

    For Adire Teems, this event is a chance to tell Nigeria’s story through fabric, and textile innovation. Known for merging traditional Adire dyeing techniques with contemporary design, the brand has carved out a space for itself as a bridge between heritage and modernity.

    “Adire is a living archive of our history, a creative language that speaks of our artistry, beauty, and identity,” says Ebuka Ebuziem, Founder of Adire Teems. “To showcase this on a global stage like CANEX is both a responsibility and an opportunity, one we are proud to carry on behalf of Nigeria.”

    CANEX at IATF 2025 is hosting business-to-business and business-to-government exchanges, exhibitions, and collaborative sessions designed to foster growth within Africa’s rapidly expanding creative economy from September 4 to 10th, 2025.

    For brands like Adire Teems, it is also a space to connect with other creators, explore cross-continental collaborations, and attract investors who believe in the power of culture as an economic driver.

    Adire Teems’ presence in Algeria highlights a broader narrative: Nigeria’s creative industries are export-ready. From fashion and film to music and visual arts, Nigerian creatives are shaping the global trends and platforms like CANEX are ensuring they have the stage to do so.

    As the world gathered in Algiers this September, Adire Teems is already standing as a cultural and business ambassador for Nigeria, weaving stories of culture, artistry and modern African creativity into the global conversation.

    COAS, Lt. Gen Oluyede Visits Ogoja, Reassures on Better Welfare for Troops 

    Chiemelie Ezeobi

    The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, on Tuesday paid an operational visit to Godwin Ally Barracks, Ogoja, Cross River State, where he commended the resilience and dedication of officers and soldiers of 130 Battalion and 341 Artillery Regiment. 

    He praised their unwavering commitment to safeguarding the nation and assured them that the Nigerian Army under his leadership would continue to prioritise their welfare alongside operational effectiveness.

    The visit formed part of his assessment tour of formations and units under the 82 Division Area of Responsibility. On arrival, the COAS inspected key facilities, interacted directly with the troops, and expressed appreciation for the sacrifices they continue to make in the face of difficult security challenges.

    Oluyede, who has consistently underlined his belief in supporting soldiers’ families, disclosed that substantial resources were being invested in revamping schools within the barracks to ensure children and wards of personnel have access to first-class education. He also directed the immediate renovation of dilapidated accommodation blocks to provide better living standards for soldiers and their dependants.

    Reaffirming his “Soldiers First” mantra, the Army Chief stressed that his administration was committed to improving the living and working conditions of Nigerian Army personnel, while equipping them with the tools needed to tackle evolving security threats.

     He cited the recent increase in the Ration Cash Allowance, which has allowed commanders to provide better meals for their troops, as a measure that must be matched by renewed commitment and professionalism on the part of the soldiers.

    The COAS further announced ongoing efforts to provide every soldier with new uniforms and essential military kits to ensure seamless operational performance. These measures, he said, were part of deliberate steps to standardise readiness, reinforce esprit de corps, and raise morale across the ranks.

    Charging the troops to maintain the highest standards of discipline and professionalism, General Oluyede urged them to strengthen synergy with sister security agencies and engage positively with host communities. Such collaboration, he emphasised, was vital to consolidating peace and stability in Cross River and the wider region.

    The Ogoja visit, like others undertaken in recent weeks, highlights the dual focus of the Army Chief’s leadership — driving operational efficiency on the frontlines while also investing heavily in welfare initiatives for the rank and file.
