Lingzhi Global Nigeria Ltd. has begun receiving coffee experts from over 30 countries ahead of the historic Coffee Festival International Nigeria, scheduled to hold from August 28–30, 2025 at Langfield, Little Rayfield, Jos.
For the first time, Plateau State will host global coffee stakeholders, farmers, roasters, baristas, and enthusiasts, with leading coffee producers like Brazil among the participants. The event is designed to celebrate coffee while positioning it as a key driver of economic growth, job creation, and cultural exchange in Nigeria.
The three-day festival will feature barista competitions, coffee tastings paired with Plateau dishes, workshops, exhibitions, and training sessions. Attendees will also get to experience the full coffee journey, from planting to roasting, packaging, and sales.
However, the vision of Lingzhi Global extends far beyond the festival. The company has announced plans to establish 821 coffee shops nationwide, mobile coffee carts, education centers, and start-up grants for coffee and chocolate entrepreneurs. This ambitious move is projected to create over 10,000 jobs within three years.
Plateau State’s unique altitude, fertile soil, and cool climate make Jos the perfect home for what is being described as Nigeria’s coffee revolution.
Speaking about the significance of the event, Blessing Nanman, CEO of Lingzhi Global, said:
“This is not just a beverage festival. It’s about empowerment, mindset shift, and national development.”
Organizers believe the festival will not only spotlight Nigerian coffee but also open doors for partnerships, knowledge-sharing, and innovations that will put Nigeria on the global coffee map.
Jos, known for its natural beauty and cool weather, will now gain recognition as the hub of a historic event that blends culture, business, and opportunity.
