West Africa to Receive Huge Economic Boost as Nigeria announced host of next Intra-African Trade Fair 2027

Algiers, September 4, 2025
By: Anthony Williams

At the official opening ceremony of the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2025) currently taking place in Algeria, Nigeria was officially announced the host country for the IATF 2027 to be held in Lagos.

Upon delivering his official welcome statement at what can now be considered Africa’s largest Trade Fair, the pronouncement was made directly to former Nigerian President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, who also serves as the IATF Advisory Council Chair, underscoring Nigeria’s pivotal role in driving Africa’s trade and economic integration agenda.

Nigeria’s position as Africa’s largest economy, home to one of the continent’s biggest oil refineries owned by business titan Aliko Dangote, and host of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) headquarters, makes it a natural choice to lead the next edition of this influential trade fair.

With over 35,000 delegates and 2,000 exhibitors from 140 countries gathering in Algiers to unlock trade deals estimated at US $44 billion, Nigeria’s selection to host IATF2027 promises to further boost intra-African trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) framework.

“This announcement to Chief Obasanjo, a key figure in African diplomacy and trade, is a testament to Nigeria’s giant status on the continent,”

“Lagos is poised to be the centre of gravity for the next chapter of Africa’s economic transformation.”

The Lagos edition is expected to capitalize on Nigeria’s large domestic market, growing industrial sector, and strategic position within West Africa, accelerating efforts to expand value addition, manufacturing, and regional integration.

As the current fair unfolds in Algeria with participation from global leaders and top business minds, all eyes will now turn to Nigeria to prepare for what promises to be an even bigger and more impactful IATF in 2027
