Nigeria is a country with great potentials and untapped resources. A country with a population of  170millon people with 36 states and F.C.T. Crude oil being the major Industry contribues to about 70% of the country's GDP. The ignorance of developing other industries have caused the large gap between Oil and other sectors like the Real estate, steel, construction, agricultural, science and technology, solid minerals and many more. However, what seems to be missing is the Motorsport sector.

The Motorsport Industry provides engineering and service businesses that support the sporting profession of motorsports. It serves as a connection for all racecar drivers, auto mechanics, engineers and financial institutes. The success of the industry in other countries is attributed to the proper investment, management and promotion put in place by organizations. Nigeria is no doubt capable of building such industry what is needed is the availability of Big time investors or sponsorship, a conducive racing environment, professionals, associations for drivers and a global business network. Business groups or individual, financial institute like banks are needed for the development of Motorsport in various areas such as construction of tracks, payment of salaries, sponsorship and more. Insurance company are not left out knowing the high risk involved in this industry.

An arena is needed where racecar drivers, supercar lovers can gather for a show. Large expenses of land is needed in the construction of a racing track, these tracks can be situated in States like Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Abia, Enugu, Kaduna, Abuja, and Kano for accessibility and large excess in land.
Drivers, mechanics, engineers, race staffs, medical staffs all need proper screening and training. Supercars are said to be very technical in its mechanism, experts are needed too for effective performance. An association which drivers are screened and registered before racing should be created to assist in the proper documentation and management of the record of drivers and their activities, and also supply motorsport competitors with the equipment necessary to participate in the sport.

A global business network. The industry should be connected to other motorsport industry in other countries to foster the relationship and to earn international recognition. This business network is where investors, banks, law firms, insurance companies are interested. Investors are after the profit return the business brings in future, banks will make sure the industry players have there finances on their watch. Law firms come in where there is a misunderstanding or sometimes they are solicitors to companies who manufacture and sell there cars or engines.

Motorsport like any other industry will create employment opportunities for the skilled and unskilled. Racecar drivers, auto mechanics, engineers lawyers, auto sale consultant, accountants, medical staffs, race staffs, maintenance team for the track and the environment

Do you think Nigeria deserves to have its own Motorsport? Leave your comments below.

There is already such a venue.
Starts January 12th 2017. Launching at Easter 2017.
A dirt track for now but give us 2 years and we will have it in asphalt.
We will also keep the dirt track in place though. In another part of the circuit.
Motorsport, superbikes and cars, and a race series in both categories and on both surfaces is the plan.
www.roadxnigeria.com and www.superbikenigeria.com are resource for our drive for motorsport in Nigeria.

Should I regard this post as an assumption or it's a planned innovation come 2017?

I think it'll be a best way to reduce unemployment in our fathersland

Bike race too,i love it,it is only when CHALIBOY is coming out in Abuja that i normaly see them,it will create relaxation for the old nd employment for the youth
