The inaugural West Africa Infrastructure Expo is set to take place from April 7 to 9, 2026, at Landmark Centre in Lagos, highlighting Nigeria’s growing significance in regional infrastructure development.
Organised by dmg events and co-located with HVACR Nigeria, the exhibition will bring together public and private sector stakeholders engaged in planning, financing, and delivering infrastructure projects across Nigeria and the wider West African region.
The event comes at a time when Nigeria’s infrastructure ambitions are increasingly moving from planning into tangible project delivery, spanning transport networks, power systems, digital infrastructure, water management, urban development, and waste management.
By creating a platform for collaboration, the Expo aims to support national development priorities and provide a comprehensive space for knowledge sharing, strategic discussions, and project evaluation.
With over 35 exhibiting companies from countries including Austria, China, Ghana, India, and the UAE, and an expected 2,000 attendees, the Expo will showcase solutions across six core sectors: digital infrastructure, power, smart cities, transport, waste management, and water infrastructure.
Participating firms include PERI, B5 Plus Group, Linsinger, Ban Ngai, KBS Pumps & Valves, Ovaman Pumps, KELM Engineering, and Sewatech, combining international expertise with regional capabilities in engineering, consulting, and technical services.
Commenting on the Expo, Josine Heijmans, Senior Vice President at dmg events, said:
“Nigeria plays a central role in West Africa’s economic landscape, and its infrastructure development has significant regional implications.
”West Africa Infrastructure Expo creates a focused environment where stakeholders involved in planning, financing, and delivering infrastructure projects can engage directly, exchange knowledge, and examine opportunities supporting long-term delivery across the region.”
The event will also host the one-day Nigeria Infrastructure Summit, which will convene senior representatives from government institutions, regulators, development banks, EPC contractors, and private sector organisations.
The Summit provides a forum for discussion on power system modernisation, urban development, infrastructure financing, programme management, and strategies to enhance project delivery across Nigeria.
The Summit will be headlined by Hon Chief Adebayo A. Adelabu, Minister of Power, who will deliver a ministerial keynote outlining Nigeria’s next decade of infrastructure growth.
It will also be chaired by Engr Ali Alimasuya Rabiu, President of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, who will guide discussions on the country’s infrastructure progress, challenges, and priorities.
Other notable speakers include Dr Abdul Kamara, Director General of the African Development Bank; Zafira Magoro, Manager at the Transmission Company of Nigeria; Engr Olufemi Fayombo, Deputy Director at LAMATA; Dr Abba Aliyu, MD/CEO of the Rural Electrification Agency; Engr Abimbola Akinajo, MD of LAMATA.
Dr Emeka Henry Inegbu, Executive Director of Family Homes Funds Limited; Kazeem Sanusi, Chief Responsibility Officer at Development Facilitation and Strategic Planning Africa; and Patrick Ogunleye, Architect at the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.
Complementing the leadership summit, the Infra360 programme offers workshops and professional development sessions covering topics such as Women in Infrastructure: Breaking Barriers and Building Skills, Digital Tools for Infrastructure Careers, Housing Development Insights, and Future Skills for Infrastructure Delivery.
Gerald Madondo, West Africa and Nigeria Country Director at Turner & Townsend, Silver Sponsor of the Expo, said: “Nigeria’s infrastructure sector is evolving rapidly, with significant opportunities in energy, transport, and urban development.
”Delivering projects that are investable, commercially resilient, and capable of creating long-term value is essential. This platform ensures government, policymakers, and delivery partners can align priorities and achieve meaningful outcomes.”
The West Africa Infrastructure Expo represents a strategic meeting ground for investors, engineers, consultants, regulators, and policymakers, reflecting Nigeria’s growing position as a regional infrastructure leader.
