The Care and Delight Bus is LG's innovation and a way to reward our customers for their unbounded faith and trust in us".

Mr. Lee also noted that LG Care and Delight Bus is not only a moving service center, dealers and retailers as well can take advantage of it as a sales promotion and support tool.

 Also present at the event was Mr. Adebayo Adegun, Head of Enforcement, Standard Organisation of Nigeria, who commended LG Electronics for being the first to initiate such a novel and innovative idea adding that this step will indeed redefine customer servicing to Nigerians.  

Mr. Hakeem Adeniji, Director of Commerce, Lagos State Ministry of Commerce & Industry, also noted that not many companies in Nigeria will embark on this kind of idea that seeks convenience for its customers.
