CFAO Yamaha Motor Nigeria Limited is set for the grand open-ing of its motorcycle assembly plant and modern showroom located at the Amuwo Odofin Industrial Scheme in Lagos on the 13th of this month.

A statement by the company said the grand opening was coming after the successful testing and full activation of the Yamaha assembly line which has rolled out two models of Yamaha motorcycle Crux and Force X Royale. The Federal Minister of Trade, Industry and Investment, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah and the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode have been invited to commission inaugurate the assembly plant and showroom, accompanied by the President of Yamaha Motor Corporation, Japan, Mr, Hiroyuki Yanagi, the Chairman of the management board, CFAO Group, Paris, France, Mr. Richard Bielle. The chairman of the company, Mr. Gbenga Oyebode and the Country Manager of CFAO Nigeria, Mr. Steve Faderin will also be in attendance.



The Motorcycle Assembly plant and international showroom are products of the CFAO Yamaha joint venture which was consummated early last year for the purpose of meeting local land and water transportation needs and supporting the government’s aquatic agriculture initiatives.

According to the Managing Director, Mr. Olivier Levigne, who is also the chief host, the assembly plant has the capacity for uninterrupted daily production with the target of 70,000 units by 2018, whilst the showroom showcases other Yamaha products such as Outboard Engines, Wave Runner (Personal Water Craft), All Terrain Vehicles (ATV), Generators and the Yamalube lubricants all of which are exclusively distributed in Nigeria by CFAO Yamaha Motor Nigeria Limited.

Adding to the information released, the Marketing Director who is also the Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Fujii Hisashi said “another section of the company which will be opened to the public for the first time is the Yamaha Technical Academy (YTA) to be used as a Nigerian training centre and technical support services unit as well as Yamaha Riding Academy (YRA) which will contribute to the safety of motorcycle riding on Nigerian roads.”

Another highlight of the event is the special display of Yamaha power bikes and Moto GP world champion machine, which the guests will find very interesting.

The joint venture is founded on the manufacturing and marketing expertise of Yamaha Motor Corporation, Japan and CFAO’s business experience and vast distribution network in Nigeria spanning over 113 years.

They said he was clueless yet his purposeful and goal oriented leadership keeps bearing fruits. See the supporters of APC and zombies scrambling to get job in this GEJ's initiative.

GOD bless Goodluck Jonathan

He said that we will appreciate him when he leaves office.


I think he was a president and a prophet.

GEJ legacy ba?
If it were a bad report it wouldn't be his legacy. I guess under his government everything was perfect.
This is the reason we will find it difficult being a great nation again, looking backwards when we ought to look forward.
I saw a thread of him remembering Yar'dua 6 yrs later and people started with praises yet again. Was he remembered 5, 4 or 3 years ago? Please, let's be focused and stop being sentimental.

This thread was opened against the backdrop of then dismissal of GEJ as clueless by the APC vuvuzela. Listening to APC you may tink that GEJ did nothing in all the years he was there, you may be forced to think that GEJ was a complete waste with nothing good to his name.
We are living witnesses to the refusal of APC and Buhari to take responsibility for his failure instead pushing the blame to GEJ.
It's his legacy because his well thought out and well articulated automotive policy engineered this. I hope only Enelemah and A mode don't attribute this success to Buhari's body language.

Good

Nice one

GEJ was/is clueless.
If you're going to claim his good, then claim his bad. He was a corrupt clueless fisherman.

This is good.... This is laudable

GEJ:

Agricultural Transformation/policy
Automobile policy
Making of entrepreneurs with YouWiN, SureP, etc

Buhari:

Toothpick production
Masquerade policy
CBN jobs to croonies and police job to change chanting zombies


The difference is clear... Isn't it @Mynd44??

Even though the establishment of the plant has the imprint of the Lagos State government allover it, Wailers will still shout GEJ and zombies will shout PMB. Alas...I give up!

Buhari is/was walking around with a 1983 frozen brain. That is why he has not being able to get anything right. Except Maybe hunting his enemies which his is not even getting right
