Managing Director of Toyota Nigeria Limited (TNL), Kunle Ade-Ojo, has reaffirmed the company’s commitment to putting customers at the centre of its operations as it celebrated 30 years of business in Nigeria.

Speaking at the 2026 Toyota Awards and Customers’ Night held in Lagos, recently, Ade-Ojo said the company’s three decades of success had been built on a consistent focus on customer satisfaction, quality service and long-term partnerships.

The event, which brought together customers, dealers, government officials, business partners, media practitioners and other stakeholders, served as both a celebration of Toyota Nigeria’s milestone anniversary and an opportunity to reward loyal customers and strategic partners.

“Tonight, is a moment of reflection, celebration and renewed commitment. For us at Toyota Nigeria, this yearly gathering is more than a tradition. It is a deliberate expression of our enduring philosophy of putting the customer first.

“It provides a unique platform to honour the loyalty, trust and partnership that have defined our journey over the years,” he said.

Reflecting on the company’s growth since its establishment in 1996, Ade-Ojo said Toyota Nigeria had evolved from modest beginnings into one of the country’s most trusted automotive brands through resilience, innovation and unwavering dedication to customer value.

He further Ade-Ojo acknowledged the economic challenges facing businesses and consumers in the country, but assured customers that Toyota Nigeria would continue to introduce innovative and customer-friendly initiatives aimed at making vehicle ownership more accessible.

He expressed appreciation to the company’s dealers, customers, suppliers, consultants, financial institutions, employees and other stakeholders whose support, he said had contributed to Toyota Nigeria’s success over the past three decades.

“The journey of the past 30 years would not have been possible without the unwavering support and contributions of our stakeholders,” Ade-Ojo said.

He also acknowledged the support of Toyota Motor Corporation and the company’s board led by Chairman and founder, Chief Michael Ade-Ojo.

The anniversary celebration also featured the presentation of awards to outstanding customers, dealers and journalists.
