Eight Jetour SUVs took on Lagos’ rugged coastal terrain during the 2026 Jetour Africa Expedition, combining off-road driving with a community development initiative that saw the commissioning of a solar-powered borehole at Iwerekun inOrile, Ibeju-Lekki.
The expedition, which began with a convoy departure from Falomo Square, Ikoyi, featured the Jetour Dashing, X50, X70 Plus, X90 Plus, T2, T2 PHEV, X70 PHEV and flagship G700.
Following a road safety briefing by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the convoy moved through Victoria Island before heading towards the coastal corridor, with support from personnel of the Nigeria Police Force and the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
The journey soon moved beyond conventional asphalt roads into swampy sections, rocky surfaces and uneven trails, providing a demanding environment for the SUVs to demonstrate their capability, endurance and performance across different terrains.
However, the highlight of the expedition came when the convoy arrived at the Roman Catholic Mission Primary School in Iwerekun Orile.
There, Jetour Nigeria commissioned a solar-powered borehole designed to provide clean and reliable water to the school and the surrounding community.
The initiative added a community-development dimension to the automotive expedition, attracting schoolchildren, traditional leaders, farmers and market women, who welcomed the Jetour team with cultural performances.
Jetour Nigeria also distributed food items to households, while pupils received books and refreshments.
Speaking on the initiative, a representative of Jetour Nigeria, Kemi Adeola, said the company was committed to ensuring that its activities create value beyond the automotive market.
“This is where adventure meets purpose. Our mission doesn’t stop at building capable vehicles; it lives in our pledge to drive tangible progress and touch the hearts of the communities we reach,” Adeola said.
The traditional ruler of Iwerekun Orile, High Chief Michael Oluwa, described the water project as an unprecedented development in the history of the community.
He pledged that residents would take responsibility for protecting and maintaining the facility.
Similarly, the Head Teacher of the school, Mrs Ariyike Bakre, described the intervention as a significant and lasting gift to the school and community.
“This is my first time seeing a solar-powered borehole,” Bakre said, expressing appreciation to Jetour for bringing the project to Iwerekun Orile.
The expedition later concluded at a beach lounge, where participants relaxed with food, music and entertainment after the demanding drive.
The 2026 Jetour Africa Expedition therefore combined vehicle demonstration, adventure and community engagement, taking Jetour’s SUV range through challenging coastal terrain while delivering a practical infrastructure project to the host community.
The initiative also highlighted Jetour’s broader market proposition in Nigeria, bringing together automotive technology, lifestyle, adventure and community-focused activities.
