The award recognises Jetour Nigeria’s growing market presence and its emphasis on technology-driven vehicles and after-sales support.

The event and award ceremony, hosted by Transport Day Media at Radisson Blu Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos, brought together stakeholders from the transport, logistics, and automotive sectors to celebrate the trailblazers driving Nigeria’s mobility sector forward.

“The Jetour brand has made a remarkable impact on the Nigerian market since its introduction, and they have consistently sustained that momentum. It was therefore difficult to overlook the brand for this recognition,” Kintum stated.

According to the company, this award underscores Jetour Nigeria’s position as the sole authorised distributor of the global brand. Officially appointed by Jetour International in 2022, the company holds the exclusive rights to import, distribute, and service the entire Jetour lineup in Nigeria.

To protect consumer investments, Jetour Nigeria has built a comprehensive automotive ecosystem. By purchasing through the official network, customers are guaranteed genuine spare parts, expert factory-trained technical support, and valid manufacturer warranties.

Jetour Nigeria’s growing presence extends beyond the local market, with the brand also gaining global recognition.
