The Nigerian assembly plant, in partnership with Ford dealer Coscharis Motors Ltd., is the first outside South Africa, where Ford produces the Ranger for 148 markets, the automaker said
in a statement today. "Nigeria is a priority market for us in sub-Saharan Africa," said Jeff Nemeth, CEO of Ford's business in sub-Saharan Africa.
"Depending on how Nigeria develops over time ... we are potentially looking at using our Nigerian plant to service West Africa. The assembly plant, capable of assembling 5,000 trucks a year, is Ford’s second in Africa.
