Carloha Nigeria, the exclusive distributor of Chery vehicles, made a powerful statement of commitment to excellence and innovation through its premier sponsorship of the 2025 Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE) Golf Tournament held at the scenic Ibom Golf Resort.

The high-profile tournament, a highlight on Nigeria’s corporate golf calendar, brought together top executives, engineers, and industry leaders from across the oil and gas value chain. Carloha’s headline sponsorship not only strengthened its relationship with the nation’s vital energy sector but also showcased how the brand continues to add value across multiple fronts, from the fairway to the factory floor.

Carloha’s presence brought new energy to the tournament. The much-anticipated Hole-in-One Challenge at Hole 12, featuring a Chery Tiggo 8 Pro as the grand prize, captivated participants and added a thrilling competitive edge to the game. While no golfer achieved the elusive shot, the activation became one of the event’s most talked-about moments, reinforcing Carloha’s message of rewarding excellence and inspiring high performance.

Beyond excitement on the course, Carloha used the tournament as a platform to engage decision-makers, build partnerships, and highlight how Chery’s robust vehicle lineup supports the mobility needs of Nigeria’s oil and gas professionals, where reliability and efficiency are non-negotiable.

By backing the NAPE Golf Tournament, Carloha also demonstrated its dedication to promoting golf as a sport of precision, discipline, and connection. The company’s involvement is helping sustain the growth of golf as a networking and wellness platform for Nigeria’s corporate and technical elite, further integrating the sport into the nation’s professional culture.

Carloha’s sponsorship spotlighted Chery’s cutting-edge technology and reliability, key traits that align with the energy sector’s demand for dependable fleet solutions. Through initiatives like the CarlohaCare 6-6-7 service package – offering six years of free service, six years of warranty, and a seven-day repair promise – Carloha continues to raise the bar for after-sales service and customer satisfaction in Nigeria’s automotive industry.

This forward-thinking approach underscores the brand’s mission to provide mobility solutions that enhance productivity, minimize downtime, and deliver lasting value.

Speaking at the awards ceremony, Felix Mahan, General Manager of Marketing at Carloha Nigeria, reaffirmed the company’s long-term vision:

“Our investment in this tournament goes beyond sponsorship; it’s a celebration of partnership. The energy sector drives Nigeria’s growth, and Carloha is proud to support that momentum by delivering vehicles and services that match the industry’s high standards of reliability and performance.”

Carloha’s engagement with NAPE’s flagship event underscores its strategy to be more than a vehicle distributor—it’s a partner in progress. By connecting with key industry stakeholders, the company continues to build meaningful collaborations that advance both mobility innovation and operational excellence across Nigeria’s most critical sectors.

From the lush greens of Ibom Golf Resort to the demanding terrains of oilfield operations, Carloha is driving a shared vision of precision, resilience, and innovation—adding tangible value to the event, the sport, the automotive industry, and every stakeholder involved.
