ABC Transport commenced operations in Nigeria on February 13, 1993, with two buses, and later procured a loan from then Diamond Bank.
Today, the road transport company has grown to become a household name in the industry, with a fleet of over 500 vehicles and a network of over 60 locations across the country.
It has also expanded its operations to other African countries, such as Ghana, Togo and Benin Republic.
The company was founded in 1993 by. Frank Nneji OON, a visionary entrepreneur on a mission to deliver world-class transportation services to Nigerians.
It was with the two mini buses as trailblazers that Nneji’s vision to revolutionise the transportation industry in Nigeria came to reality.
ABC Transport was the first to establish ultramodern terminals in Nigeria and beyond, thereby enhancing its reputation as a modern and innovative road transport services provider.
On July 16, 2004 with a new state-of-the-art fleet of buses, Coach West Africa was rolled out to offer the most modern coach service in West Africa in addition to enhancing regional integration in the ECOWAS sub-region, in terms of trade, travel and tourism.
The Driver Training Academy, another offshoot founded with a mission to ‘prepare and produce’ for Nigeria’s motoring environment, law-abiding and safety-conscious drivers, graduated its first set of trainees in 2004.
In 2012, ABC ventured into motor vehicle assembly with its 50 per cent stake in Transit Support Services Ltd (TSSL), which is into assembly of heavy and light duty trucks with its flagship brand: Shacman (fire trucks etc.) and Forland Trucks, Asiastar luxury buses and Baw mini buses and ambulances. TSSL offers sales of automotive parts.
Speaking about the future of the company, the Group Head, Innovation & Strategy, Mr Victor Nneji, assured of the company’s resilience to continue to innovate and serve Nigerians and Africans at large.
