Leading automobile brand Kia Motors Nigeria has unveiled a new assembly plant in Lagos, which is expected to produce 25,000 vehicles every year
The plant named United Vehicle Assembly Limited (UVAL) will be part of Nigeria's robust automotive policy of making the nation a leading manufacturing hub, said officials from UVAL.
Nigerian minister for industry, trade and investment Olusegun Aganga paid a visit to the plant, stating that it was technologically advanced and had quality assurance control measures in place.
UVAL CEO Jacky Hathiramani said, "We are committed to contributing immensely to the development of the nation through this multi-billion investment. We have taken our growth commitment to a greater height in Nigeria and repositioned our brand by supporting the Nigeria dream."
The plant has employed engineering graduates from Nigerian universities and will continue to provide employment for locals.
In line with a commitment made in 2014 to produce vehicles locally, Kia Motors recently launched its made-in-Nigeria automobiles such as Kia Rio, Cerato, Optima, Sorento and Soul. By the end of 2015, the South Korean company will be producing all its flagship models, including sedans, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and pick-ups in the West African nation.

Why in Lagos? Other states need this plants and industries more abeg.

Lagos is already too freaking populated. They could have opened it in Rivers or Alwa Ibom kf they are worried about closeness to the port and hence materials.

Even the excuse of market is not feasible as deliveries can be made. The concentration of industries in one state is causing more pressure on Lagos which is it smallest state according to landmass already.


the whitemen will be at risk of beeing kindnap cuz they have not seen much white men out there. Think about it. Lagos is the savest place for now. think about it-

30 states in Nigeria should have at least 1 auto manufacturing plant with 20, 000 capacity per year.... since we're expecting 21 plants, they should be evenly distributed

This is not oil money that can be divided and given to those that do not deserve it.

State governments should do what they can to make their states more attractive for business.

GEJ's auto policy just represents the bitter-sweet relationship the man had with Nigerians.

On one hand, the policy was pretty decent, attracting foreign car makers to set up assembly hubs in Nigeria, boosting the economy and creating jobs.


On the other hand, it constituted a renewed offensive on ordinary Nigerians and common sense . Needlessly jacking up import duties for imported cars even when local production was still less than 1% of demand, pretending as if increase in import duties was the only way to make investment attractive (as if tax breaks and car purchase schemes weren't enough) and shamelessly giving waivers to crony car retailers to import at old rates.

One hopes that Buhari will take this scheme, support it with common sense decisions and excise all cronyism from the matter. Then Nigeria will become better.

There definitely are, but you'd have to find them. The majority of Nigerians who are that good you either find in foreign universities or in the private sector. Even if you'd like to help out in the public service you'd need a godfather to recommend you. The plain fact is that we only get good public servants once in a while. Can you bet money that the incoming government will find someone just as capable to run that ministry? I bet not.

Just what I was thinking, left to me, Calabar should be the location. It is close to the sea and peaceful. The only problem is that it is far.
