As an additional method to determine either of these possibilities, the council is engaging appointing Hyundai dealers in Nigeria.
The council request anyone who purchased, owns or currently drives any of these specific Hyundai models, with the re-installed parts to immediately contact contact the council by sending an e-mail to contact@cpc.gov.ng.
