“We are already in talks with the CSS Book shop and the Hub Media Store to complete our distributing channels for the book from the last week in June 2012. CSS Bookshop is expected to distribute the books in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt while the Hub Media Store is expected to distribute mainly from its Palm Shopping Centre, Lekki, Lagos.
“Importantly, we have perfected plans to ensure that all corporate and blue chip companies, high net-worth individuals and government agencies who are the major patrons of brand new vehicles, get copies of this book.” Commenting on the book, Hon. Biodun Akinlade, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology, said the pedigree of its author is not in doubt.
He recommended the book to government establishments, private companies, individuals and all those interested in knowing more about the auto industry in Nigeria.
“It is my hope that even schools and institutes offering transport studies will find this publication as a useful guide,” Mr Olu Tikolo, Marketing Director, Elizade Motors and Chairman, Auto Sector of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the Nigeria Auto Market Guide is long overdue because the Nigeria Auto industry lacked publication of this kind that will help those outside the industry know those serious players in the business.
“The Nigeria Auto Market Guide is like a missing link in our auto people. Now that it has been found, I think the industry should laud and appreciate it and the editors who have painstakingly researched the sector. The question we should ask ourselves is where are we and where are we going to?” Mr Ifeanyichukwu Agwu, Managing Director, BKG Exhibitions, said.
