From 160 entrants across 23 states, only seven remain. On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, they will go head-to-head at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, for the chance to become the first Nigerian Drivers Challenge champion.
The grand finale of the competition, also known as the Naija Driver Challenge, starts at 9:00 a.m. The finalists cleared the preliminary stage, which set a 60 per cent pass mark for the supervised online test. Now they must prove what they can do behind the wheel.
The Lagos State Drivers’ Institute (LASDRI) has designed practical tests to assess vehicle control, awareness of other road users and adherence to safe driving rules. Each finalist’s practical score will be combined with their computer-based test result to determine the winner.
Project Director Adrian Egonu said the competition was founded on the belief that safer roads begin with responsible, competent and professional drivers.
“This is more than a driving competition. It is a platform for promoting road safety consciousness, improving driving standards and celebrating excellence behind the wheel,” Egonu said.
Modupeola A. Elegba, the project’s Head of Administration, said participants who completed the training and online test reported learning new ways to use the road safely. She invited the public to attend the finale.
The organisers thanked LASDRI, the Federal Road Safety Commission and the Automobile and Touring Club of Nigeria for endorsing the initiative. They also acknowledged sponsors Skinetics Aesthetics Skin Care Clinic & Med Spa, BUA Cement, Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc and AXA Mansard Health Ltd.
The Lagos State Signage Agency, Lagos State Safety Commission, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority and Work and Play also supported the event.
Government officials, road safety agencies and automotive industry representatives are expected at the finale, which is open to the public and the media.
