ConMin West Africa is returning in 2018

After the success of ConMin West Africa 2017, the international trade fair for construction machinery, mining and building material machines is returning: the second ConMin West Africa will take place in the Nigerian capital city of Abuja on 4-5 September, 2018.

ConMin West Africa will be opened on 4 September, 2018.
The German service provider for international exhibitions IMAG, together with its Nigerian partner Afrocet Montgomery is offering companies the opportunity to showcase their product portfolio in Nigeria’s rapidly developing market.

The trade fair’s inaugural edition in June 2017 and the co-located National Mining Summit attracted over 1,500 professional visitors and 44 exhibitors from 11 countries, which included several industry giants. The acting President of Nigeria was present to open the event itself, as were high-ranking representatives from the Nigerian government.

ConMin West Africa will see foremost suppliers, manufacturers, and solution providers showcase an array of products from the construction, building materials and mining sectors. The show's organisers have unveiled a new pavilion for 2018 entirely dedicated to sustainability. At this pavilion companies will showcase their products for water treatment plants, pipeline construction as well as waste systems. As last year, the conference will be accompanied by a business forum with technical sessions.

The 2018 National Mining Summit will once more take place alongside ConMin West Africa. This two-day conference will see industry experts share their views about the latest developments, opportunities and challenges in the sector.

As the current largest economy in Africa, with a gross domestic product of USD 518 billion, and the biggest producer of crude oil on the continent, Nigeria is an ideal host country for ConMin West Africa 2018. Since the collapse of oil prices, Nigeria has introduced certain initiatives and reforms to help diversify the economy, the mining industry in particular has prioritised making use of the country’s other natural resources such as natural gas and coal. As such, Nigeria has plans to invest USD 7 billion over the next ten years to increase the share of the mining sector from 0.3 per cent of GDP (2015) to 7 per cent.

“Nigeria is one of the most promising markets in the world and is becoming more and more important to the global economy”, says Peter Bergleiter, Managing Director IMAG GmbH, the subsidiary of Messe München, which organises trade fairs outside of Germany.
