Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Turkey, the United States, Indonesia, Thailand, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Poland among other countries would be participating as the West Africa Automotive Show (WAAS), returns to Lagos.

ConsumerConnect reports there are over 100 exhibitors from Nigeria and around the world, who will be showcasing the latest developments and products in the auto parts and services sector to more than 3,000 visitors from across western Africa.

The 2022 West Africa Automotive Show, which holds from Tuesday, May 17 to Thursday, May 19, also will showcase the range of vehicle parts and accessories needed to keep cars, trucks, buses, motorbikes and commercial vehicles on Nigerian and roads and others across the West African sub-region.

The show, which will take place at the Landmark Centre on Victoria Island, Lagos, is endorsed by the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), the founding partner in Africa’s largest auto spare part market–ASPMDA Auto Spare Parts and Machinery Dealers Association.

Jamie Hill, BtoB Events’ Managing Director, who noted that WAAS is being organised by BtoB Events, said that he would be looking forward to seeing the regional automotive sector come together again.

Hill stated: “We are delighted to be able to bring the long-anticipated return of the West Africa Automotive Show back to Nigeria, for its first post-pandemic edition.

“Demand for exhibition space has been very high, which reflects the strong desire from the market to get back to business and make us for lost time.

“The impact of the pandemic on international trade was huge, so the exhibition will act as a perfect platform for businesses to find new suppliers from around the world and suppliers to find new customers across the region.”
