The National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), formerly known as National Automotive Council (NAC), is collaborating with the Nigerian Lubricants Summit Group on the organisation of the third edition of the annual Nigerian Lubricants Summit, scheduled to hold in March 2017.

The partnership, according to the organisers of the summit, is in support of the policy thrust of the Federal Government in promoting the narrative on ‘Think Nigeria, Buy Made in Nigeria’ products to encourage local manufacturing in the country.

The third edition  of the Summit, the organisers said, will focus on the Nigerian automotive industry, considered as one of the fastest growing industries in Nigeria.

The Nigerian Lubricants Summit is a thought leadership platform for public-private sector cooperation, purposely to promote local content capacity and inclusive growth of the lubricants industry and its allied markets.

The summit is designed as a strategic partnership with respective regulatory agencies of government as platform for stakeholders to collaborate and promote Nigeria’s industrial revolution. It aims among others to foster open and continuous dialogues on how the industry can optimise its potentials.

In 2014, the organisers successfully hosted the maiden edition; a two-day event, in collaboration with the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR).

In 2015, the second edition was held in collaboration with the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and DPR.

The 2015 edition was a three day event; a forum, Exhibition and Gala. The outcomes of the past two editions were submitted as communiqués to stakeholder associations, regulatory agencies as well as the executive and the legislative arms of the government for policy formulations.

The Nigerian Lubricants Summit usually attracts participants from among key players in the downstream sector in Nigeria and outside the country.
