Adewale Adeniyi, the head of the Nigerian Customs Service, tested a Nigerian-made vehicle and approved of the initiative.
This information was made public on their official X account, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday.
Adeniyi stated, “These are our Nigerian products and we are responsible for giving them a chance. We cannot continue relying only on imported items, especially cars.”
“We are making every effort to support them through various concessions, and the first step we have taken is to use their products.
“We will need to consider various factors in the procurement process and we are open to forming partnerships with them. This is a promising start. I am impressed by what I have seen. I drove it for a distance, and we achieved good speed and acceleration.”
Hassan Ghandour, the sales manager at Mikano Motors Abuja, guaranteed the appeal, affordability, and range of options for the seats. He stressed the plans to provide the Nigerian Customs with high-quality products.
“This visit is to demonstrate what we can offer to the Nigerian customs and how we can provide support. By offering high-quality and affordable products.
“We are not just supplying cars; we are also providing a warranty for up to six years or 200,000 kilometers for any manufacturing defects. This ensures our commitment to supporting our clients with after-sales service and spare parts.
“We have sedans, compact SUVs, large SUVs, and smart SUVs with the latest technology and artificial intelligence. We also have a pickup truck, Changan.
“Our products are affordable and tailored for Nigeria, with specifications adjusted for the tropical weather and road conditions, as well as our clients' budgets,” added Ghandour.
