Assembling plant
Nice one

AutoReportNG:
As Anambra is home to Innoson Motors such can be said of Kano State to many assembly plants in the country. One of the silent automobile company we have in Nigeria is National Truck Manufacturers LTD (NTM) also known as Gidan Fiat. NTM is based in Zaria, Kano State, according to reports, the plant has have been silently manufacturing heavy-duty trucks, tippers, light-duty trucks, agricultural tractors, pick-ups as well as motorcycles for over 10 years.

One of the big achievements of NTM Ltd is that they are basically an ingenious company with staffs that locally assemble the trucks, buses and Keke Napep. Base on our little investigation, the trucks are shipped into Nigeria as CKD and they are assembled in Kano from there it gets to their respective clients and agents. It will be recalled that the Goodluck Jonathan administration in 2013 introduced the National Automotive Policy to encourage production of vehicles in Nigeria and discourage importations. Before the policy came into being import duty on vehicles coming into Nigeria was 10 percent with an additional 10 surcharge effectively making it 20 percent. But what Jonathan did was to raise it up to 35 percent plus 35 percent surcharge to effectively make it 70 percent, thus, making Nigeria ports uncompetitive compared to West and Central Africa.

What is surprising about NTM Ltd is that they have no presence online as even their website is down, AutoReportNG managed to get a phone and we put a call through, the responder confirmed that they are truly existing and when we probed further on why the silence and why their works are not online as other firms, he said, the company is working to revive the website and also they will be on social media soon.

We look forward to when that will be.

These are images from the assembly plant in Kano State.

And yet, you don't see or hear them chest-beat and make noise like the Bia-furo pigs!

omniwater:
They are operating in Zaria road, Kano, not in Zaria.
Zaria town is in Kaduna.

You are the BIGGEST FOOL EVER. GROW UP MY MAN.. THIS YOUR TRIBE BASHING ANTICS IS GETTING OUTDATED.. Always blaming tribes and leaders for Nigeria's problems. YOU ARE ONE OF THE MAJOR PROBLEMS...

chuckjonesbaba:

Don't be a blockhead

manufacturing
The process of converting raw materials, components, or parts into finished goods that meet a customer's expectations or specifications. Manufacturing commonly employs a man-machine setup with division of labor in a large scale production.

Pls do your research Sir. Zaria is a name of a city in Kano
Google is your friend and you can always find out.

Have you heard of Zaria Rd? Check and let's have a debate

horsepower101:
Company started in in 1975 as a joint venture between federal government and Italian automaker fiat in Kano.

After the SAP by babangida, it went bankrupt.

For 17 years it wasn’t functional until 2003 when Obasanjo administration privatized it and sold the 75% stake of the FGN to Mr. Ibrahim who is from Kano state.

The company imports most their parts CKD with reduced duty fee and assembles them at their plant.

There is some local content used customization components for local market.

horsepower101:
I know it was just a matter of time before someone makes this comment.

The facts still remains that 80% of the components that goes into IVM is are locally made. Innoson is now even trying to make it 100%.

He is beginning to look into manufacturing the engines locally which to me will be his greatest legacy.

The Chairman of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited, Chief Innocent Chukwuma yesterday said the company will, in the next five years, commence local manufacture of vehicle engine to acheive 100 per cent local content in the auto industry.

seguno2:
Another successful privatised company by PDP
Where are those APC noisemakers who wrecked our country with incompetent Buhari?

vacettetommy:
I also laugh in Chinese

General2COAS:
Its actually in Kano City along Zaria road not too far from unguwa uku/naibawa and somehow close to kano state college of education.

I don't think its on the Expressway cos its not too visible.

Sakamaje:
Whether na assemble dem dey assemble or na manufacturing, na same same. Nice one.

Maybe this will help you as you claim to be all in all. No one is trying to prove a point, but let's be receptive to new ideas and innovations. That you live in Kano for ages does not mean you know everywhere and that you have been to every hook and corner. Maybe these will help you...

This is from Vconnect and among other websites...

Business Address: Km11, Zaria Road, Gidan Babagwari, Kabo, Kano, Nigeria

This picture also is from their plant which clearly shows Zaria Rd, so are you trying they don't know what they are saying?

If someone tried to talk or correct your wrong talk, you get personal that one trying to do too know

omniwater:

AutoReportNG:
This is their address...

Head Quarters: Factory HQ Km 11 Zaria Rd Kano
City/Town: Zaria
State: Kano
L.G.A: Sumaila

So, cross check and verify

iammo:
Innosun is also an assembly company that brands Chinese manufactured pro.duct as theirs, their are many assembly plant accross Nigeria, only that innosun chestbeats the most , even dangote also owns one.

Ajaokuta is the key to Nigeria's own manufacturing and foundering plant and turn us into a metal age country
