GAC Motors, Rotary Int’l sign MoU on vehicle purchase

• Rotarians to enjoy 5% discount

Choice International Group Motors has signed a memorandum of understanding with Rotary International District 9110 to buy GAC brand of vehicles at dedicated Rotary prices .

The deal, according to a statement from the company on Wednesday, will be extended to over 4,000 Rotarians in Lagos and Ogun states.
General Manager at the Commercial Department at CIG Motors, Mr Jubril Arogundade, said the company would be ready to offer its vehicles to them at affordable prices with quality after-sale service.
Specifically, he said the CIG Motors, representing the GAC Motors in Nigeria, would make the brand of vehicles available to the Rotary International District 9110 at a dedicated Rotary price, which is five per cent discount of the going market rate.

He also said Rotary members could enjoy the offer, adding that the discount would depend on the vehicle models and their prices.
“For every car they purchase from us, Rotary will walk away with a five per cent rebate and they will enjoy our robust after-sale package,” he said.
He said the auto company had been considered one of the most successful in Nigeria due to its robust and dynamic after-sale service.
Arogundade said, “We are a successful auto company because we invest hugely in after-sale. For instance, for every vehicle we sell, we have its service and needed parts for the next four years.
“We have a dynamic after-sale service; our workshops operate for 13 hours, between 7am and 8pm
According to him, the CIG is more than a business group, “there is also the charity arm,” adding that the Chairman of the group, Chief Diana Chen, believes in giving back to the society through the promotion of Nigerian culture and talent as well as sponsorship of a number of sporting events.

The District Governor of Rotary International District 9110, Mrs Omotunde Lawson, said the humanitarian group was excited about the new partnership and commended the CIG Motors for the package.
She said Rotary International is open to strategic partnerships with recognised firms and organisations that would provide a win-win offer to all parties.
“This facility for us to buy vehicles from CIG Motors at a dedicated Rotary price with other package is very commendable,” she said.
According to her, while four per cent of the rebate being offered will go to Rotary, the remaining one per cent is dedicated to the Rotary’s polio eradication programme.
