Lagos is set to host a major convergence of key players in the Nigerian aviation sector, as the 2025 edition of the Airport Business Summit and Expo (ABSE) prepares for take-off from July 15 to 17 at the NIGAV Expo Centre, Murtala Muhammed International Airport.

The annual event, the only dedicated airport business summit in Nigeria, is designed to spotlight the economic dynamics of air transport from an airport-centric perspective. 

It brings together airlines, regulators, private investors, airport managers, and government officials to chart a path toward a more sustainable and investment-friendly airport ecosystem.

Organised in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Aviation and Aerospace Development, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), the Nigerian Transport Commissioners’ Forum, and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the summit has as its theme: ‘Investment Opportunities in Airport Public-Private Partnerships’.

According to convener of the summit, Mr. Fortune Idu, this year’s edition aims to deepen conversations around attracting private capital into a sector historically dominated by public funding.
