The Aliko Dangote's auto company (Peugeot Automobiles Nigeria Ltd) is rolling out the Land Trek, 3008, 5008, and the new 508 models with an assembling capacity of 120 vehicles per day.
This is a good development for the economy especially in the area of Job creation. Nigeria is a very big market that can accommodate more automobile manufacturing and assembling companies.
But we have a big issue in our hands.
Some people are not happy about this development especially from the south east. Their argument is that Dangote came on board to finish with INNOSSON what he started with GTB. Is Dangote connected to that case?
I read comments and I am bewildered with what is coming out of people's mouth. These guys all wrote in very good English indicating that they were all well educated. But why this mindset? Why is their thinking that way?
Since I was born, I have never seen anyone from my Local government drive INNOSSON viechle. I am very sure that not up to 20 people own any model of INNOSON viechle in the entire Imo state and Anambara. We don't patronize these guy even our state governors. The only government that have ever appreciated this young industrious man from Nnewi is the present Buhari government with a purchase of thousands of his products ranging from Pick up for Road Safety, SUV for all senior military officers, buses, Military viechle of all type. Soludo indicated interest last week to also go with INNOSSON viechle.
Apart from INNOSSON and Dangote, Coscharis also assemble Renault variants – Logan and Duster and other brands in the market. IMC (Steyr Motors),Proforcedefence Limited- producing armored vehicles for the government, communities, and Private sectors in Nigeria and Africa. Nigeria is a big market and if we all decide to patronize them, they won't even meet up with demands.
We should always be calming down.
