This marks bcゲーム アンロックor's second foray into Nigeria, as well as the entire African continent, following the cessation of its motorcycle production in Nigeria in 2005.
The plant and showroom will help meet local needs for land and water transportation, including government initiatives to develop Nigeria's aquatic agriculture sector. Production is expected to reach 70,000 motorcycles by 2018.
Visitors to the showroom will be able to view and purchase diverse products from the bcゲーム アンロックor lineup, such as outboard engines, personal watercraft, all-terrain vehicles, generators and Yamalube lubricants, all of which are distributed in Nigeria exclusively by CFAO bcゲーム アンロックor Nigeria.
bcゲーム アンロックor also announced two initiatives for the local motoring public: the Yamaha Technical Academy, which will provide technical training and support services, and the Yamaha Riding Academy, which will promote motorcycle riding safety.
Attendees in the opening ceremony included Lagos Governor Akinwumi Ambode, bcゲーム アンロックor President, CEO and Representative Director Hiroyuki Yanagi, and CFAO Group Chairman Richard Bielle.
