African Eagle, E. Ekeson Bros Transport, GUO Transport, Eddyson Transport, Landstar are some operators doing Lagos to far North and East with this model.

The move according to Executive Director, Kojo Motors Limited, Chinedu Oguegbu, will address the growing transport needs of the country.

Presently operated as a semi-knocked-down (SKD) assembly plant, Kojo Motors Limited plans to migrate to full completely-knocked-down (CKD) regime in the next three to five years under a good economic condition.

With the expansion of the local domestic market needs as priority in the short to medium plan, the Yutong Bus assembler hopes to extend its frontiers to other regional markets outside Nigeria eventually, which will position the country as an export hub.

In terms of pricing compared to other competing commercial bus brands, it will offer better value, price and specification compared to European models. Kojo Motors also offers financing in addition to service and spare parts. Offices and service stations in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Benin City and Awka are well equipped and staffed to provide efficient after-sales support of the Yutong buses.
