Nigeria’s auto industry has recorded a boost as MG Motor appointed Stallion Group as the nation’s exclusive distributor for its iconic automobile brand of British origin.

General Manager for the brand, Anurag Shah, told newsmen that  plans were already in place to assemble, distribute, sell and service certain MG models in the country.
