Multinational conglomerate Stallion Group has won the 2015 Nissan Global National Sales Company Award for its outstanding achievement in Nigeria. The award recognizes Nissan’s growth in the Nigerian market, whilst reinforcing its growing industrial footprint. Stallion is Nissan’s exclusive manufacturer and distributor in Nigeria.

It may be recalled that Stallion established Nigeria’s first automotive assembly facility in partnership with Nissan as a pioneering initiative in April 2014, pursuant to the Federal Government’s announcement of the nation’s new automotive policy late in 2013.

Since the launch of Nigeria assembled Nissan vehicles, four models are being assembled in the country creating significant employment, with the local human resources undergoing extensive training from global automotive experts from Nissan’s international auto plants.

The thriving partnership with Stallion has resulted in Nissan meeting the needs of Nigerian customers through expanding product range and country-wide-retail network. The new Victoria Island showroom was the eleventh Nissan outlet in the country – a demonstration of Nissan’s long-term commitment to increase brand visibility in Africa’s most populous country.

Sunil Vaswani, Chairman of Stallion Group, said: “Together with Nissan we are seeking to complement Nigeria’s ambitions to become the region’s automotive hub.We are providing a comprehensive range of passenger, commercial and recreational vehicles, and are currently engaged in a dynamic program of new model introductions.”
