A Benue indigene, Mr Stine Chenge, of Chinatown & Benue Valley Vehicle Manufacturing Co,. has designed, engineered, manufactured and assembled a vehicle for the first time in Benue State.

The product named ‘WAZOBIA’ keke is a copyright protected (NCC Certified) light weight portable multi-purpose cargo vehicle (pictured above) which has proven itself as a versatile companion for laborers (Plumbers, Electricians, Mechanics, Vulcanizers), Courier & delivery businesses, Farmers (Carrots, Maize, Potatoes, Beans, Groundnuts, Rice, Cassava, Onions, Tomatoes, Vegetables, Fruits, etc), commercial food vendors and general town services.

Unlike other manufacturers, the products are not built outside Benue or in China and only assembled in Benue, the vehicles are 100% designed, engineered, manufactured by Benue indigenes and assembled in Gboko and Makurdi.

Speaking to Benue.com.ng, Mr Chenge said, ”... Since our products are manufactured within Benue State, our prices are considerably cheaper at just N290,000 per units from 1-10, N250,000 for units from 11-50 and N210,000 for unit from 51-100. Our current production capacity per month is 50 units. This is cheaper than the Chinese or Indian products currently being sold for N450,000 and sometimes as high as N650,000.”

Mr Chenge added that the benefits and implications of this accomplishment are enormous. From employment, to tax revenues to the state, to reinforcing Benue State’s position as a major economic player at a national and global stage, as the company will also be selling the products to neighboring States and, export to neighboring countries like Republic of Benin, Cameroon, Togo, Chad, Ghana in the near future.

“It is our desire to continue to improve and make many models and call on Businesses, Government and the good citizens to patronise our products. Our products can be purchased directly from us by visiting our website www.wazobiakeke.com or via Konga, He concluded.
