Motorcycles, often called “Okadas” in Nigeria, have become dominant in the country’s two-wheeler market. Their affordability, manoeuvrability, and ability to navigate congested traffic have made them a popular choice for individuals and, crucially, for the booming “Boda Boda” business – a network of motorcycle taxis providing vital public transportation. This widespread adoption of motorcycles has significantly impacted how Nigerians travel, work, and access goods, shaping the landscape of the two-wheeler market.
Hero MotoCorp has been a significant player in this transformational change in Nigeria’s two-wheeler industry, with a presence in over 47+ countries, 115M+ happy customers, 9000+ customer touch points worldwide, and 40+ years of trust.
