The Executive Director, Logistics and Distribution, Dangote Group, Mr Abdul Dantata, thanked the officials of Shacman and TSS for the visit and assured them that the group would continue to patronise their vehicles. “Patronage of Shacman trucks was based on their quality. We hope it will continue and you will continue to give us the best, we will continue to give more business support to Shacman brand,” Dantata said.
Dantata also said “being in the middle between Shacman and Dangote group, TSS have given much support to both companies, hence we will continue to patronize the Shacman brand.”
Thanking the Executive Director for the warm reception, the Chairman of TSS a subsidiary of ABC Transport plc, Mr. Frank Nneji, said, “we will continue to give all the supports, Shacman believes that the business doesn’t end with selling the trucks, it continues with following the trucks through its life-span and we will continue to respond very swiftly to calls with the support of Shacman even at very short notices”.
