The 2025 Nigeria International Trade Fair (NITF’25), organized by the Lagos International Trade Fair Complex Management Board (LITFCMB), builds on the resounding success of the Commercial and Industrial Trade Fair 2024 (CITF’24) a pivotal event that brought together stakeholders across Nigeria’s industrial and commercial landscape. CITF’24 served as a powerful platform for promoting local content, strengthening partnerships, and showcasing the strength of Nigeria’s production and trade sectors.

In line with a renewed vision and expanded international relevance, the event has now been rebranded as the Nigeria International Trade Fair (NITF’25). This change reflects our commitment to amplifying Nigeria’s national pride while welcoming global partners and participants, solidifying Nigeria’s role as a continental leader in innovation, trade, and development.

Executive Director of LITFCMB, Vera Safiya Ndanusa, reaffirmed the Board’s statutory mandate to organise trade fairs across Nigeria and its renewed focus on restoring the Complex as a functional, nationally relevant centre for business.

NITF’25 marks a bold new chapter in Nigeria’s economic story, positioning Nigeria as a top and foremost hub for commerce, innovation, and investment in Africa. Scheduled for 21st November – 30th November, 2025, this landmark event is set to draw over 100,000 participants, from business leaders and investors to trade envoys, innovators, and consumers.

More than just a commercial exhibition, NITF’25 blends Nigeria’s rich heritage with a forward-looking ambition, featuring archival highlights, testimonials, and new focus areas such as green technology, digital transformation, and youth entrepreneurship. The fair promises a platform for robust dialogue on SME growth, foreign direct investment (FDI), financing, and cross-border trade, further reinforcing Nigeria’s leadership in West African commerce.

This edition of the Trade Fair combines national pride with international reach, inspiring a new generation to reimagine the possibilities of Nigerian enterprise. Join us as we celebrate tradition, drive innovation, and shape the future of African trade.
