Speaking in Lagos, chairman of the company, Henry Agbamu, said the commissioning will complement the company’s distribution, sales, leasing and service of the Nissan and Peugeot vehicle brands.

According to him, his company’s partnership with MAN Group on the trucks and buses is driven by integrity, quality and service which are the business principles of the former.

“Personally, the emotion of having MAN join the SCOA family, is simply awesome, and with adequate spare parts back-up, availability of competent technicians, propelled by a robust net-work of branches round the country, the SCOA MOTORS DIVISION, is simply the right destination for MAN.

“Together, SCOA Motors and MAN, have no reasons, not to rule the trucks market, not only in Nigeria, but also across the West African sub-region”.

Agbamu, who recalled that his company commenced operations in the country in 1932, said it has weathered the storm and penetrate the nooks and cranny of the country.

“Over the years, SCOA Motors, metamorphosed into an auto giant, which pioneered the sales, distribution and maintenance of a variety of automobiles, including Austin, Morris, Land Rover, Tata, Berliet, Blue Bird, Peugeot, Toyota, Nissan, Hover, Lifan, Nomad and now MAN.  BUT, why has MAN decided to come so late to the SCOA MOTORS fold?

“And to be fair, why did SCOA, not beckon on MAN before now? Answer? Better late than never. But seriously, suffice it to say, that, the proverbial chicken has eventually come home, this time, not to roost, but to settle and prosper”.

Also speaking at the occasion, Vice President, MAN Group, Christian Rimet, expressed his company’s satisfaction with the partnership on trucks.

According to him, many customers in the long haul and construction business rely on MAN and the service provided by the company’s agents, particularly in West Africa where it has more than 40percent market share.

He said the increasing demand for the company’s TGS-WW in Africa is not only due to its reliability but to the quality of the after sales service provided by its agents.

‘’This is why today we believe that with SCOA we have better prospects than ever before in Nigeria. SCOA will offer an after sales network second to none in this huge country, with branches in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri, Kano and Abuja.

‘’All these branches will be set up according to MAN standards. With intensive training, with the implementation of effective processes and with the direct support from MAN Germany, SCOA and MAN strive to be the best service provider in Nigeria and maximize up time of our trucks.

‘’It is our common goal to provide not only the best truck but also the best service to our customers. Today is a new beginning for MAN in Nigeria and both MAN and SCOA will do what it takes to satisfy your needs and to support you with reliable trucks and buses and with first class after sales service’’.
