Chairman of Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing (IVM), Innocent Chukwuma has said his company can manufacture any vehicle if given the specifications.
Chukwuma, who spoke through the Head, Corporate Communications, Innoson Group, Cornel Osigwe, while taking some journalists on a tour of the firm, said the company produces 10,000 brands of vehicles annually.
He said over 60 per cent of the manufacturing materials needs were sourced in Nigeria while 40 per cent were sourced from overseas.
He said, “What we do have here is pure manufacturing of vehicle and not assemblage. Our vehicles go through quality control section before they are pushed to the public.
“We get our batteries from Ibeto Motors, wire from here and others from Nigeria. We have over 1800 persons in our employ.”
While praising Governor Chukwuma Soludo for being the first Nigerian governor to endorse Innoson vehicles as state official vehicles, Osigwe revealed that both the federal and state governments were patronising the company.
“The military, police, customs and Nigeria Civil Defence service have been our regular customers.
“We have about 12 brands of vehicles in the factory and Nigerians are patronising them well,” he added.
