Geely and ZNA lead Mikano International’s debut at 15th Lagos Motor Fair

Mikano International, one of the foremost leading solutions providers in Nigeria for almost 3 decades stormed the 2021 Nigerian auto scene again, with the launch of Geely Nigeria; a strategic partnership between Mikano International and Geely Auto Group.

With the strength of Mikano International’s trusted reputation, Geely Nigeria has rapidly gained ground as one of the fastest rising Auto brands in the country.

Geely Holdings, owners of Volvo Autos (since 2010), are also the largest shareholders at Daimler A. G (the parent company for Mercedes Benz), as well as owning LEVC, the manufacturers of the iconic London black cabs. Geely’s international reputation is built on extensive research and development that has influenced the quality, safety, reliability and level of technology that the Geely brand embodies.

Karima Okunola, Mikano Motors marketing manager explained while showing the cars to the NADDC DG at the 2021 Lagos Motor Fair, that “Geely’s brand ethos is ‘making refined cars for everyone’, the perfect meeting point for high quality autos with the latest technological, best in class features at affordable price points”.
