This is one of the smartest moves I have ever seen by a car company. Where there is a will there is a way. Imagine the number of jobs this will create. I remembered when hyundai and kia first came into Nigeria. They were practically giving people cars on loan. Very soon Innoson will become a household name that everyone will wanna buy

Yes!
