Toyota (Nigeria) Limited (TNL) has named Nestle Nigeria Plc as winner of its prestigious Evergreen Customer Award for the Year (2023).
The company emerged winner among the teeming Toyota customers, having purchased the highest cumulative number of new Toyota vehicles consistently within a five-year period (2019-2023) from TNL accredited dealers.
As the Evergreen customer, Nestle was rewarded with office equipment worth about N10 million, which was announced by the Chairman of Toyota Nigeria Limited, Chief Michael Ade-Ojo, at a ceremony in Lagos.
Nestle also won the Best Customer of the Year Award, being the customer with the highest purchase of Toyota vehicles from the TNL dealers in 2023. It also went home with a cash award of N5 million.
Roxcon Nigeria Limited and Zenith International Bank received N3 million and N2 million respectively for emerging first runner-up and second runner-up in the 2023 TNL customers purchase assessment.
Ade-Ojo, who congratulated the winners for their loyalty to the Toyota brand and Toyota (Nigeria) Limited, urged others to take a cue from them.
He stated that next year’s winner of the biggest award, the Evergreen, would go home with a brand new Toyota vehicle.
The Managing Director of Toyota (Nigeria) Limited, Mr Kunle Ade-Ojo, said, “At Toyota (Nigeria) Limited, the philosophy of ‘Customer First’ remains the focal point of all our activities. Therefore, at every opportunity, we like to recognise and acknowledge our customers’ overwhelming love and support for us which has been our driving force over the years.
“Your unwavering patronage of the Toyota brand and unshaken loyalty to it have been awesome.”
The MD further said that the company had consistently held the awards every year since the inaugural edition in 2005 but only suspended it during the COVID period.
“We thank you for staying with us throughout the difficulties brought about by the pandemic,” he added.
Notwithstanding the economic challenges confronting business organisations in Nigeria, Ade-Ojo expressed the determination of the TNL team “to maintain our culture of providing superior quality products and services to our esteemed customers.
“We will continue to avail you of models that meet your specific needs supported by robust after-sale services.”
He commended the vision of the company’s Chairman, Chief Ade.Ojo, affectionately called Mr Toyota, whose foresight and tenacity, he said, had changed the face of the automobile industry in Nigeria.
