He has a separate tyre, and plastics production company.
The plastics company name is called Innoplast.

The only thing he imports are the electronics, engines, and maybe the tempered glasses.

Stop writing from a position of ignorance.

Chairman of the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Limited, (IVM), Mr. Innocent Chukwuma has expressed optimism that the company would take over the Africa market in the nearest future

He made the declaration during a parley with journalists in Nnewi, Anambra State.

Chukwuma said the company was looking ahead to being a producer of vehicles for use in the African continent as a whole, a development he said would reduce pressure on the country’s foreign exchange (forex) demand.

He said he had expanded his scope of production to a wide range of vehicles which include SUVs, wagons, commuter buses, among others.

“I need to correct one impression. While a lot of automobile companies in the country are assembly plants, ours is a manufacturing plant. We source most of our components locally. And that is the edge we have over others. If I see a local company that will add value to what we are doing through production of components, I will patronize them.

“My plans for the next five years is to see IVM everywhere in Africa.”

He further stated that, “Challenges can never stop; people will always have challenges day by day, but the most important thing is that each time it comes up, we put heads together and surmount it. I don’t think there is a challenge we will see and not surmount.

“Our driving force is ideas; it is not about volume of investments, if ideas are there, you can use small money to do big things.”

He added that the staff strength of the Innoson Group was now well over 7200, with the IVM accounting for 1700 staff members.

Chukwuma hailed former Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi for supporting the growth of local businesses, adding that Gov. Obiano had also been supportive.

He disclosed that as Governor, “Mr. Peter Obi placed orders for 500 SUVs, 700 buses and 500 pick-up vans and that helped us a lot because he does not owe, he paid in advance.”

He observed that the emphasis on industrial clusters by the Gov. Obiano administration had also helped in the area of power sector, adding that “it is also an opportunity for people to produce more components for me; that will help.”

“However, it should be noted that this industry is not only for governors but everybody. Everybody should know that Innoson Vehicles are manufactured in Nigeria; let everybody see it as our own thing,” said.

The Innoson Chairman also expressed happiness over the victory of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo in the recently conducted Anambra State Governorship election, describing it as “a huge blessing and gift to Anambra people.”

This country Nawa o, everyday things dey go up, imagine one bag of pure water is now 300 naira, one satchet pure Water is 20naira, naija which one, so 10naira nor get value again, every day things just they increase, yet nobody is saying anything

Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom said on Saturday that the state planned to add 10 additional A220-300 series aircraft to the fleet of Ibom Air.

He revealed the plan when he spoke at an event marking the 85th birthday of Obong Etim Abia, the Paramount Ruler of Eket in Eket Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom.

“As I am leaving here, we are signing fresh agreements that will give us 10 brand new A220-300 Air Buses, so that even when I leave office, it will remain an enduring legacy,’’ he said.

The governor also talked about his determination to ensure that quality was not compromised in the Eket Stadium project, the International Market project, roads and other development programmes in the area.

He stressed that the peculiarities of the Eket terrain were taken into consideration before projects were approved to be sited in the area to ensure that they stood the test of time.

He appealed for patience from Eket residents, while reassuring that all the projects would be delivered and appreciated long after his tenure.

Gov. Emmanuel decried the fact that climate and weather conditions, the COVID-19 pandemic and other natural occurrences had impacted on the pace of work.

“People have said a lot of things about developments and projects. Your Majesty, we have had major challenges in the past two years that we never envisaged in governance.

“In 2020, nobody could do much because of COVID-19. In 2021, we were poised for infrastructure development, but the volume of rainfall has been unprecedented,’’ the governor explained.

He congratulated the Obong on his 85th birthday and spoke glowingly of the endearing characteristics of the Eket patriarch.

“In life, I watch out for two things in any leader and in any human being; character and charisma.

“As a paramount ruler, your character to me is your charm that inspires devotion in others, including me,’’ the governor said.

He said that the Obong’s charisma also attracted and endeared others to him, adding that the paramount ruler was blessed with both attributes.

Gov. Emmanuel lauded the Eket royal father’s initiative of using the special event to honour some illustrious sons of the land with the prestigious title of “Mkpisong Ekid’’.

He expressed appreciation of the support of his Eket people and urged all stakeholders to do their best to maintain peace so as to draw more positive development to the area.

“On behalf of the government and good people of this state I say happy birthday to you, Your Majesty and long live the King,’’ he said.

In his birthday speech, Obong Abia expressed appreciation to God, to his wife and to his family.

He thanked Gov. Emmanuel and Eket leaders for their support and commitment to serve Eket people, Akwa Ibom and by extension all Nigerians.

Expatiating on the honour bestowed on awardees, he said the title, “Mkpisong’’ literally means Pillar of Progress and Leading Light in the community.

One of the recipients, Mr Frank Archibong, thanked the Obong for finding him worthy of the award of honour and promised to do more to support his community and Akwa Ibom.

Archibong is the Akwa Ibom Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

He described the Obong as an astute administrator who had brought his wealth of experience to bear on the leadership of the traditional institution across the state.
