The event will commence at 11:00 AM at the Gras Ballroom, Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.
Celebrating its 11th anniversary, this year’s theme is “Managing Quality for Growth, Innovation, and Improvement,” emphasizing the critical role of quality as a strategic driver for sustainable development, operational innovation, and continuous institutional enhancement throughout the continent.
Organizers highlighted that the African Quality Congress has become a vital platform for fostering excellence in quality management, policy dialogue, and knowledge sharing. The event consistently attracts leaders from government, business, and civil society, providing a space to discuss actionable strategies to elevate quality standards across both public and private sectors.
The African Quality Achievements Awards (AQAA) will recognize outstanding individuals, organizations, and government bodies that have demonstrated exceptional commitment to quality assurance, performance excellence, and customer satisfaction. These awards honor achievements in applying quality metrics and best practices that support organizational growth and development goals, whether in profit or non-profit sectors.
Complementing the awards, the event will feature a dynamic Quality Exhibition showcasing innovative products, services, and technologies driven by quality principles. The exhibition offers participants opportunities for brand visibility, stakeholder engagement, and networking, as well as insights into emerging trends shaping the future of quality across Africa.
The AQAA initiative is spearheaded by the African Quality Academy in collaboration with the World Quality Alliance and supported by the Chartered Quality Institute (UK). It stands as one of Africa’s most respected platforms for recognizing excellence in quality leadership and institutional development.
Powered by the African Quality Academy and the World Quality Alliance, the 2025 edition of the African Quality Congress is expected to attract industry leaders, policymakers, development experts, and quality professionals from across the continent, promising to be a pivotal event in advancing quality and innovation in Africa.
