Lagos played host to the fourth edition of the Eko Drive Exhibition (Eko Drive IV), as automobile enthusiasts and lifestyle lovers gathered at the Alliance Française de Lagos, Ikoyi, for another celebration of automotive culture.

In a statement to The PUNCH, the Founder and Project Manager of Eko Drive, Ademide Osunsina, said the strength of the exhibition lies in the community it continues to build.

Osunsina said the event brought together a diverse mix of car lovers, premium vehicle owners, bikers, creatives and members of the lifestyle community, reinforcing Eko Drive’s growing reputation as a key platform for automobile culture in the city.

He explained, “It featured a curated display of classic cars, custom-built vehicles, electric automobiles, modern luxury cars and high-performance machines. Beyond the visual appeal, the exhibition encouraged interaction and conversation, allowing attendees to connect with the history, design and individuality behind each vehicle.

“The passion comes from seeing automobile enthusiasts, luxury car owners and power bike riders come together to explore cars and share their stories. The trust owners place in us year after year shows that the community around Eko Drive is growing.”

Also speaking, the co-founder and event coordinator, Sanjo Morgan, described Eko Drive as more than an exhibition, noting its impact on Nigeria’s evolving automotive culture.

“Our aim has always been to unite car lovers, promote safety and showcase Nigeria’s automotive potential. This fourth edition confirms that our vision is being embraced,” Morgan said.

A major highlight of the event was a live demonstration by an electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class (G 580 with EQ Technology), which performed a 360-degree ‘G-Turn’, drawing applause from the audience.

Co-founder and Creative Director, Imran Claud-Ennin, said Eko Drive would continue to expand its focus on storytelling and lifestyle expression within the automotive space.
