Nigeria to receive Pajero after-sale support beyond 2021

The after-sale support for Mitsubishi Pajero will continue in Nigeria beyond 2021 when the sale of the vehicle will stop in the country, sole distributor of the brand of vehicles, Massilia Motors, has said.

The decision to halt the sale of the Pajero in the country, it said in a statement, was taken following the announcement by the automaker, Mitsubishi, to stop the production of the model next year, gradually leaving the stage for a popular new model, Pajero Sport.

This, the auto firm said, was coming after a successful 39-year run, and more than 3.3 million global sales of the outgoing Pajero.

The statement quoted the General Manager of Massilia Motors, Mr Olatunji Itiola, as saying, “Although Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has announced the end of production of the model next year, the Pajero will still be available for purchase till end of 2021 due to popular demand.”

“We assure all our Pajero customers that Massilia Motors, known for its pedigree in after-sale backup, will continue to support the legendary Pajero with quality service and genuine spare parts.”

He described Massilia Motors as a trustworthy and reliable company in the provision of quality goods and reliable services.

According to the statement, the Group Managing Director/Country Delegate of CFAO in Nigeria, Mr Thomas Pelletier, was recently recognised by the Business Day newspaper and Nigerian Stock Exchange with the Next Bulls Award.

The Next Bulls Awards celebrates private companies for their impressive growth, market reputation, regulatory compliance, and world-class corporate values.
