THE Chairman of Innoson Group, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, weekend, disclosed that the company would commence the manufacturing of affordable and quality vehicles in Nigeria by 2018. This is in accord with government’s drive to make it easier for Nigerians to purchase more new cars int=stead of buying the tokunbo cars.
Chukwuma said the company would begin to roll out the brand new affordable cars from January, which is less than a moth from the time this news is made available and would significantly curtail the importation of expensive vehicles into the country.
He said: “I am going to launch a car in one month’s time that people can easily buy in Nigeria with small money. I am looking at about N3 million. The car will be big size, which will have air conditioning, automatic gear and other comforts that will make it easier for all.
“I am not just interested in the Nigerian market alone but the African market.” and that is where my interest lies now.
“I believe that anything you are doing do it well and if properly done it will market itself. In Innoson Motors where things are done well we try as much as possible to meet international standard and to meet our customers’ demand and expectation with good quality, which people are interested in our vehicles everywhere.”
He commended the Federal Government for its efforts at making Nigeria an automobile manufacturing destination, while he called on Nigerians to patronize and support manufacturers in the sector, as well as other sectors.
