The 2025 NISECEXPO, Nigeria’s leading international security and defense exhibition, opened on Monday, 8 December 2025, bringing together senior government officials, industry leaders, and global security partners for three days of exhibitions, policy discussions, and technology showcases.
This year’s edition, themed “Future Wars: Operational Resilience and Force Build-Up Capabilities,” focuses on strengthening Nigeria’s defense preparedness and addressing evolving national and international security challenges.
Organisers said the 19th edition marks a renewed effort to position Nigeria as a continental hub for defence innovation, manufacturing, and strategic security cooperation. Since its launch in 2014, NISECEXPO has grown into one of Africa’s most prominent platforms for defense and security engagement.
The exhibition is expected to attract participants from over 50 countries, including policymakers, private-sector innovators, research institutions, regulatory agencies, and international partners. Exhibitors will present advanced defence technologies, indigenous solutions, and new security capabilities, while stakeholders explore opportunities for investment, industrial partnerships, and capacity development.
The event runs from 8–10 December 2025 in Abuja.
