Today, I was on hand to receive the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly Committee on Special Duties, Projects Monitoring/Implementation and Aviation Development on a tour around the Car Assembling/Manufacturing Plant located at Ikot Ukap Itam, Itu Local Government Area.

It is heartwarming to know that the committee was impressed with the level of work at the Plant which will create more employment opportunities for Akwa Ibom people. The collaboration between the Executive and Legislative arms of government in our state is one that aids development and must be commended.

The plant is being constructed by MIMSHAC/Merkavim Transportation Technologies and will produce commercial buses, waste disposal trucks, fire fighting trucks and private vehicles upon completion. It is a full package of Israeli technology which will produce stainless vehicles, suitable for Nigerian environmental terrain and roads. Our dear Governor, Mr. UDOM Emmanuel must indeed be commended for attracting economically viable projects to our state. With the project.

God bless Akwa Ibom State!

later now, the vehicles cannot be affordable to an ordinary nigerian

ASG are not clueless bro

This is really good.

But from the pictures I can see a large space more like a warehouse.

Where are the equipment and manufacturing tools?

How will the vehicles be affordable with the dollar rate.
Why do we hardly see innoson vehicles on the road, because majority of the citizens can't afford it.not like we don't like to patronize our own

White elephant project! Hope I'm wrong..
Don't be fooled with innosons relative success in this field, this is a very risky venture that can only be managed effectively by well skilled private entrepreneurs. The constant changes in government and government policies will ultimately lead to the collapse of a venture like this as it will become a dumping ground for party rats as the guys in power start looking for jobs to keep the boys busy after elections. Even well established foreign car manufacturing companies struggle these days and are going for mergers.
Akwa Ibom government should rather reach joint venture agreements with some Asian conglomerates to site their companies in Akwa Ibom. Especially the House hold and agro related companies. That way they can invest in productive companies with well established managerial set ups, to produce for the Nigerian and west African markets..

Nice development if true.

You're right on that Ibom Air stuff. I did run my mouth on that one. Not only on that, I was against Anambra airport too. Thought governments should prioritize in times of low income. But looks like both the Airport at Anambra and Ibom Air are going to thrive... If so, I was wrong. .. I just think there are many other money spinning ventures the government can embark on to make money for itself and create jobs for the people. Not trying to rain on anybodys parade..

The dawn of true federalism bringing the best in every state. Adversity is the mother of invention. Nice one.
