WAAS is organised by BtoB Events, BtoB Events’ Managing Director, Jamie Hill, said he is looking forward to seeing the regional automotive sector come together again. “We are delighted to be able to bring the long-anticipated return of the West Africa Automotive Show back to Nigeria, for its first post-pandemic edition,” he said.
