Stallion NMN Limited, Nissan's sole representative in Nigeria, has unveiled the new Navara pickup truck to its Nigerian customers.

Speaking at the event, Amit Sharma, General Manager of Stallion NMN Limited, described the launch of the new Navara as a continuation of his company's journey to transform Nigeria into a notable hub for Nissan vehicle manufacturing and distribution.

According to him, Stallion-Nissan is always aware of what he describes as Nigeria's incredibly huge potential, which is why it is determined to continue investing in the country's automobile industry.

He said, “Barely a year after the Stallion-Nissan agreement, Nigeria’s then newly revived auto policy received a boost from a Nissan Assembly plant located at our VON Automobiles complex in Lagos.

“From the plant, the first locally assembled Nissan Patrol was rolled out in 2014. Since then, we have significantly invested in local production of other vehicles, including Nissan Almera, NP300 Pickups and Urvan NV350.

“The foregoing has meant enormous economic benefits to Nigeria and Nigerians, especially in terms of 100s of direct and indirect jobs and enhanced technical skill for a good number of Nigerian workers via provision of world class training.

“As a result, the Nissan brand recorded a significant boost in market share. And, in 2015, Stallion NMN won the prestigious Nissan Global Sales Award for exceptionally growing the market share by 18 per cent.

“That’s not all. Stallion-Nissan Alliance also yielded vast Corporate Social Responsibility benefits for Nigerians. These include supporting the government’s efforts to reduce the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on citizens as well as far-reaching donations towards government’s efforts at tackling insecurity in the country, chiefly government security agencies in Lagos and its surroundings.”

Sharma also stated that Stallion-Nissan has begun introducing new models, including passenger, commercial, and other specialized vehicles, for the benefit of individuals, government departments, and businesses in Nigeria.

A welcomed development but hey, how many Nigerians can foot an outright payment for a brand new car?

Do we have the institutions to back lending even when you opt for instalments?

We just have to start somewhere and watch the progress.
