The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, said the federal government had opened discussions with Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Company and other key indigenous vehicle manufacturing companies with a view to producing ventilators in the country.

This is even as the President of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Engineer Mansur Ahmed, disclosed that manufacturers had increased Nigeria’s domestic production capacity for face masks from two million masks in February to 27 million now.

The minister, who updated journalists on #COVIDー19 pandemic and its implications for the manufacturing sector in Abuja, said the government received a proposal from Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company to produce ventilators and similar proposals had been submitted by other indigenous auto manufacturers and that the various proposals are being considered.

“We are also engaging our indigenous car manufacturers at this time to prepare them to tweak their operations to begin the manufacture of ‘Made in Nigeria’ ventilators – critical medical equipment in the fight against the virus,” he said.

The ministry had last month set up a committee on “the sustainable production and delivery of essential commodities” during the #COVIDー19 pandemic, amongst others.

Adebayo said the ministry had been collaborating with the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN); the Nigerian Association of Chamber of Commerce Industry Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA); Nigerian Traders Association (NANTS);and other relevant stakeholders to guarantee unhindered production of essential items like food, medical and pharmaceutical products.

The MAN President, Engineer Ahmed, said manufacturers had braced the lockdown to ensure uninterrupted production of essential goods, including supply of raw materials.

The industrialist said as imports of essential goods dropped, local manufacturers were trying to bridge the gap by ramping up domestic production.

Bashir Ahmed come and eat your vomit. Even big offices doesn't stop the Jealous ones from their inherent deadly envy.
Way to go ... We need to sustain this spirit beyond COVID19 era.

Let me not say IGBO AMAKA to spare the poor hearts of hating beasts.

Innoson production capacity has been on the increase since the last 10 years. This company may become bigger than Toyota and Ford motors combined.

That's better.

They will soon start making tribal remarks on the thread.

I wanted to say Igbo Amaka but I won't say it

I want a team of volunteers who would teach Nigerian youths solar panel production. We need to start a revolution.

That's PPP. Public Private Partnership.
More of being paid to start doing it and not a case patronising what inoson is doing.

I extremely love Innoson

The president is working

I read that up to 80% of patients they put in ventilators die.

Which means the ventilator machines save 20% of the people.

Let's do what Italy did by allowing anyone above 80 to rest in peace.

Useless government they know innoson can produce ventilators but they decided not to give them the contract cuz he’s not a fulani or afonja man... Ass lickers Oya make una start to dey wail for here... I will say it again and again Nigeria is a useless country, Buhari is an idiot... Allow we igbo’s to go but they said " NO " cuz they know we’re productive.... if you like come at me I don’t give a F about your useless opinion

no fighting one Love guys

Really?

As much as I know, only innoson proposed it even before they went begging Elon Musk on twitter!

Can someone tell me already the "local vehicle manufacturers" that has come up to produce ventilators? Why forcing it on those who don't show interest?

Fear go let person use the ventilators so?

Ventilator wen go pack cobwebs enter our nostrils?

OBARA JESUS!!!!!
