Honda Manufacturing Nigeria Limited has concluded plans to organise free training for motorcycle riders to improve their safety and change the negative perception of Nigerians about motorcycles.
Speaking during the launch of the Honda Unicorn motorcycle, Sales Manager, Honda Nigeria, Olabade Badejo, said the two-day training would make motorcycles convenient for mobility and develop motorisation in the country.
According to him, the training will improve the trainees’ perception of identification, judgment, and execution when there is danger as well as equip them with various kinds of learning skills to go safely around the bends feeling man and machine relationship.
Earlier, the Managing Director of the company, Hirohide Ichikawa, said, “From our product conceptualisation, design, quality, and after-sales service, our goal remains centred on our belief and desire that each person working in or coming into contact with the Honda brand should share a sense of great joy through an unforgettable experience of a world-class product.
“It is, therefore, a magnificent day for us to continue in this tradition of distinguished excellence that the Honda brand is known for as we introduce to you our esteemed guests, the new model.”
According to him, the Honda Unicorn was a result of a rigorous interaction with various stakeholders on the distribution value chains of the personal users.
He added that Honda Unicorn was a concerted proposition of various stakeholders’ propositions, noting that the new product was manufactured with the same innovative precision technology synonymous with the entire brand of Honda.
The new Unicorn has six months with various after-sales services such as maintenance and repair.
The new model remained popular in the Middle East before its introduction into the Nigerian motorcycle market.
