He said: “Although the company has been doing business in Nigeria for
a long time, now we are resident in one of Africa’s most economically powerful
cities. By deepening our local footprint, we hope to further grow our business
affiliations and strengthen our partnership with this country.”
Dr. Lauber revealed
that the newly appointed Managing Director for Nigeria, Mr. Adedayo Olowoniyi, would be leading the Lagos office, adding
that before taking on this new role, he was MAN’s Chief Financial Officer for
the Sub- Saharan region.
While speaking
on the development, Mr. Olowoniyi said: “We see
tremendous market potential in Nigeria. The privatisation of the local power
market is driving investment and with only about 5.5 gigawatts installed today,
there is a substantial need for additional decentralized generation capacity.”
According to
Mr. Olowoniyi, the country’s overall economy is growing substantially and MAN
Diesel & Turbo products can help companies secure their energy supply
without having to depend on the public grid. He noted that with the new office,
MAN Diesel & Turbo is well positioned for future endeavours in Nigeria and
beyond.
