The highly anticipated 25th Abuja International Motor Fair is set to hold from November 24–28, 2025 at the iconic Eagle Square, Abuja, marking a historic return after nine years.

For the first time in nearly a decade, Eagle Square will once again host the nation’s premier automotive showcase being an achievement that underscores the sagacity, foresight, and bold leadership of Mr. Osanipin, widely celebrated as the most performance-driven Director-General since the inception of NADDC.

His commitment to repositioning Nigeria as the automobile hub of Africa is setting new benchmarks in the industry.
