Nigeria’s automotive sector stands at the threshold of transformation. As the largest economy in Africa, the country has the market potential and human capital to become a regional leader in vehicle assembly and automotive innovation. However, the sector still faces challenges such as inconsistent policy frameworks, underdeveloped supply chains, and limited local investment.

The Nigerian Assembled Cars Summit 2025, themed “Made in Nigeria, Made for the World,” is a landmark initiative aimed at catalyzing dialogue, policy action, and investment to reshape the narrative around Nigeria’s locally assembled vehicles. It presents a strategic platform to accelerate industrialization, stimulate local innovation, and unlock Nigeria’s potential as amanufacturing hub for the African auto market.
