THE House of Representatives Committee on local content has approved the use of Innoson vehicles for its official activities. The approval was endorsed by the law makers after visiting the motor plant at Nnewi, Anambra State.

Chairman of the House Committee on local content, Asita Honourable said they came to verify the level of local input in Innoson vehicles which is part of their official responsibilities. He said that they were happy to discover that more than half of the auto components were locally produced and urged Nigerians to patronise the company.

“The Innoson Motor Plant at Nnewi is a huge honour to Nigeria. What is going on at Nnewi is an amazing feat which needs to be encouraged. This is not an assembly plant, but a full production site where Nigerian auto engineers are exhibiting their skills. We saw them and felt extremely impressed that such marvelous feat is exsisting in the country.”

He, therefore, stated that the committee would support Innoson by using its buses in carrying out official activities. “The high standard of Innoson vehicles has made us to endorse it for our jobs. We have resolved to make it an official vehicle for the assembly.”

The Chairman also praised the vision of the company chairman Chief, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, saying that his ingenuity has added value to the manufacturing sector.

Lord Naya: The Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku has said that if emerging indigenous car manufacturers are going to remain in business there is then the need to ban the importation of fairly used vehicles, commonly known as ‘Tokunbo’ into the country.

Speaking in Nnewi, Anambra State when he led members of the National Good Governance Tour on an inspection of the INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) Co. Ltd, the Minister said if 30 percent of the vehicles in Nigeria are sourced from the company, it would be able to expand and meet the demand in the country.

Mr. Maku further urged Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government to begin to implement the resolution of the Federal Government to patronize the company. “There is need to encourage him (Innoson Group Chairman, Chief Innocent Chukwuma) because for a long time many Nigerians attempted to achieve what he has done by setting up assembling plants and seeking technical transfer such as Peugeot and Volks Wagon. This is not an assembling plant, it is a manufacturing plant”, the Minister emphasised.

The Minister also used the occasion to point out that the President’s power supply programme was already working quoting the INNOSON Group Chairman, Chief Innocent Chukwuma who said that the company was now sourcing 80 percent of its power needs from public supply, which Mr. Maku noted was as a result of the increase in power generation in the country.

It would be recalled that at the commissioning of the factory by President Goodluck Jonathan during his maiden official visit to Anambra State, Chukwuma had prayed the President to quicken the process of fulfilling the promise of boosting electricity in Nnewi, adding that efficient power supply would energize the hundreds of industries that have made Nnewi the Taiwan of Africa.

Guiding the team on a tour of the factory, the INNOSON Group Chairman, Chief Chukwuma said he rolls out 300 vehicles monthly from his factory. He also said that over 7,000 workers are under his employment across his 4 factories including those for waste bin and plastic production.

According to Chukwuma, exporting of the IVM vehicles has already commenced. Ghana, he said for instance, has ordered 200 units of his vehicles and here in the country, the Chief of Army Staff recently ordered 20 units.

Apart from their durability and the availability of spare parts, the INNOSON Chairman said the vehicles can be purchased for as low as 1.7million naira. He also informed that the company has certification from the National Automotive Council (NAC), the Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE) and the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON).

While appreciating the Peter Obi Administration for his support as well as the Bank of Industry (BOI) for the loan facility given to him to kick start the factory he said that the Anambra State Government was presently the company’s largest client. The company has been enjoying BOI’s support to access cheap loans since 2004 when it had only 500 staff. Also, the company was able to access National Automotive Council fund to expand its vehicle plant.

He therefore urged MDAs and government at all levels to encourage made in Nigeria Goods. He lamented that though he had approached the Federal Capital Development Agency (FCDA) to patronize his waste disposal bins, the Agency still imports them from Germany. According to Chukwuma he had even provided the Agency with a truck load of complimentary waste bins for a trial.

Some of the vehicles manufactured at the plant include 14, 26 and 35 seater- buses, double cabin pick up vans and Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs).

theency: please can someone tell me how much the innoson jeep cost? Thank you.

And you had to quote a massive chunk of text, just to ask how much one of their products cost?? Besides, you started a thread solely to ask how much an SUV cost. Why not simply stick to that?
