He noted that vehicles produced at the IVM plant could match those produced anywhere in the world.
He added that his brand of vehicles are produced to the highest standards and are fit for Nigerian roads.
The IVM boss revealed his range of vehicles, which included SUVs, wagons, commuter buses, have become a household name in the automobile industry.
He added that unlike other automobile assembly Plants, Innoson is a vehicle manufacturing plant.
“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 patronise them”.
