Announcing the inaugural rollout of a gleaming black Nissan Patrol vehicle from the plant, Stallion Group’s chairman, Sunil Vaswani said: “In October 2013, upon the announcement of federal government’s new auto policy, Nissan and Stallion had committed to commencing assembly by April this year. We are immensely pleased to mark our success in meeting this targeted time frame.” Commenting on the partnership, Vaswani said: “Our long -term partnership with Nissan will continue to flourish, resulting in expansion of our capacities and product range. Several other upcoming models, including the Almera (Sunny) and pickups will shortly be made available to our valued customers in Nigeria. The commencement of assembly will also generate significant employment opportunities for Nigerians and establishment of several ancilliary industries.” He added: “We believe that this is a historic moment in Nigeria’s progress towards creating and fostering local industries. It will result in Nigeria becoming the region’s leader in automotive industry”. leadership.ng/news/369127/made-nigeria-stallion-nissan-vehicles-debut
