THE House of Representatives Committee on local content has approved the use of Innoson vehicles for its official activities. The approval was endorsed by the law makers after visiting the motor plant at Nnewi, Anambra State.

Chairman of the House Committee on local content, Asita Honourable said they came to verify the level of local input in Innoson vehicles which is part of their official responsibilities. He said that they were happy to discover that more than half of the auto components were locally produced and urged Nigerians to patronise the company.

“The Innoson Motor Plant at Nnewi is a huge honour to Nigeria. What is going on at Nnewi is an amazing feat which needs to be encouraged. This is not an assembly plant, but a full production site where Nigerian auto engineers are exhibiting their skills. We saw them and felt extremely impressed that such marvelous feat is exsisting in the country.”

He, therefore, stated that the committee would support Innoson by using its buses in carrying out official activities. “The high standard of Innoson vehicles has made us to endorse it for our jobs. We have resolved to make it an official vehicle for the assembly.”

The Chairman also praised the vision of the company chairman Chief, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, saying that his ingenuity has added value to the manufacturing sector.

Nice move!

If they can implement it, it will be very good. This INNOSON man is a genius that needs to be complemented if Nigeria is to move foward. His buses can compete favourably with FOTON and some of these Chinese cars and buses that ply our ways for some years now, if some government agencies can patronise BINJEI and co, why not INNOSON. Kudos INNOSON!

Great.

Hope he will not fail to deliver.

They should go back and pass the law, not talking to the gallery,

I also expect the Executive to gazzete the law when passed immediately,

a very nice move government need to suport him because he is providing jobs to masses

Death galore!!!

They might as well approve the use of 'American gold[sic] caskets' to bury them after they are dead.

Very nice to see local content support

Very nice to see local content support

You call substandard stolen technology local content?

Is your mom from Alaigbo?

Toyota has taken us for granted. imagine increasing their high roof haice bus (diesel)  from 6.55m to 7.55m. i prayer innoson will make us proud

You call substandard stolen technology local content?

i think you have a problem. there is no originality in car because everything is assembled/clone by a specific company (toyota) dons't mean they single-handedly manufacture the car

does anyone know or have a breakdown of the costs of their vehicles? I have tried their website to no avail.

Thanks

Useless people! They know this and they went ahead for Toyota Land Cruisers. They are just mocking the man

FOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Made in Naija very good lets encourage local product.

To be real with you, Igbomen are supporting the country with their biz idea, As you can see yourself they are find their way out of poverty gradually, Hasaua-filani folding their hands fighting and waiting for oil allocation

Naija too much. Good move

good. Maybe more jobs now.

Government patronage or not,innoson is here to stay.
in a couple of years even the worst haters will be having a ride in his buses.
nobody can stop the igbos from shinning.

Great feats will continue to come from the SouthEast while others drink ogogoro and kola nuts.

Why are u like this?

When is innoson going to start exporting his mobile casket to the US and other european countries ? If his cars are great as he claimed,i wonder why Nigerians are buying hondas of 1980's edition.see as the name strong to pronounce for mouth sef.

this is good initiative.

Enugu state government adopted innoson motors more than two one year ago and the vehicles are stil plying the roads. They are strong an efficient. Equiped with standard air conditioners. Cheap fares compared to every other state in NIgeria. Can you believe that a distance of lagos mile 2 to oshodi costs just about 30 on a bus with a seat and a/c. No standing passengers. Nigerian govt should be buying this if they want the nations economy to grow.

Why should government be forced to patronize the guy ? How many enugu citizens ride inoson motors ?

First good news from the jungle for more than 2 decades

A RASH OF COMMITTEES.
COST OF GOVERNANCE ISSUES.
THIS DECISION COULD BE TAKEN ADMINISTRATIVELY WITHOUT GHANA MUST GO BAG VISITATIONS.
THIS DEMOCRACY IS DOOMED.

i disagree with you mate. that will just be a silly thing to do.

The only thing hindering the Ibos from progressing beyond where they are presently is Nigeria. Give Ibos their state or rather make it confederation or true federalism or resource control then you will see that Ibos are Hebrews for real
