In surrendering to Rt Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi's forging words into action towards all and sundry security gadgets Assistance; MAINTENANCE CULTURE SACROSANCT:

I beg his Excellency to do as follows in making sure that the vehicles and other procured items are in safe hands to avoid rough use and management culture applied;

Vehicle;

We are elated that the vehicles are procured from our own people thereby boosting our made in Nigerian product BUT. We observed from one of visits, from a particular police division on why they find it difficult to maintain their vehicle (KIA) product, was because most of the mechanics are quacks and the parts of the vehicle seems to be more expensive for them to maintain.

Maintenance;

We have a very big problem in maintaining properties that are not ours most expecially when it is owned by the government.

Peaching Tent with Mechanics/Technicians;

We are aware of the outrageous sum spent in buying all these cars, equipments/items. I beg our indefatigable Governor (GBURUGBURU) to sign an agreement with a qualified mechanic company to look into all these vehicles when ever they have problems. Also making sure that the users do not abuse the vehicle parts in any form, eg. Changing the batteries/glasses/engine parts/tires etc.

Handing Over to Taskforce/Supervisors to check mate Abuse of the Vehicles;

We know how our people misuse opportunities given to them. It is good that strict sanctions are given to any personel who moved the vehicle out from his area of jurisdiction or use the vehicle to carry anything that does not have to do with the call.

Buying all these expensive cars is another thing, managing it is equally another thing too.

God bless you his Excellency for being a listening and friendly Governor as Prof Yemi Osinbajo observed it on his last visit to Enugu.

In his speech, ED Ubong said Shell Nigeria over the years has shown the lead among its contemporaries on the patronage of local content. The MD futher recalled that this year, Shell emerged the International Oil Company with the most impactful Local Content Initiatives in the upstream category at the 2019 edition of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Opportunity Fair (NOGOF) held in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on April 4, 2019.

- 7 REASONS WHY INNOSON CARS CAN BE RELIED ON -

When buying a car, buyers are faced with a lot of options. Dozens of brands and hundreds of models are available from every continent, which, of course, is great news for buyers. It gives them an excellent choice and the assurance that they will find a vehicle that’s perfect for their needs and also perfect for their money. But which one to choose? There are so many models, and you can never be 100% sure about the quality of certain brands, regardless of the price.

Innoson cars are fast becoming famous for their reliability and they are one of the most popular choices in Africa currently. In fact, Innoson is defiantly stepping foot in other African countries after Mali ordered 400 cars.

Innoson cars might not be in every family’s garage, but they are certainly a great choice for quality-conscious buyers. Innoson vehicle manufacturing also boast of many sporty options with an eye-catching design that have won the hearts of many car buyers across Nigeria.

Buying an Innoson car is a reasonable choice, especially if we’re talking about cars that come directly from the factory. There are many reasons why purchasing such vehicle is a good option, which has to do with the quality that comes with the cars.

First of all, you need to know that driving in Nigeria is not as convenient as in other countries. Especially in large cities like Lagos and Abuja, the traffic is so busy that it makes more sense to travel by a public transport, and we took all these in mind to manufacture a car that can stay in traffic without overheating, go on long trips without breaking down and consumes less fuel.


1. Safety:

At Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company we value lives and that is why we put safety first. We put our nose to the grindstone to manufacture cars that can outlive other competitive cars. We do this without minding how long the production will take us. Our cars undergo rigorous testing before we put them out to be sold. The safety control system, including its BOSCH ABS+EBD system, 2 SRS airbags and high-rigidity body-cage structure, forms an impeccable safety shield just like a bodyguard protecting you from any danger and allowing to completely enjoy your driving experience

2. Fewer Service Visits:

Innoson Vehicles are durable long-lasting vehicles. All Innoson cars sold 3 years ago are still on the road, squeaky clean just like the day it was bought. Innoson cars last a long time and save you the stress of constantly visiting a mechanic to haggle one issue or another. What more can you ask for from a car manufacturing company that gives three years warranty on Engine, Axles, and gear.

3. No Overheating:

Overheating is an Engine greatest enemy. It can ruin your day and make you regret why owning a car. In responding to the Nigerian hot environment, IVM built in additional fans to the AC condenser together with the one of the radiator. The AC condenser has two fans while the radiator has a big fan making it three sets of fans. This unique feature is one of the reason while IVM vehicles esp. its buses and SUV hardly overheat.


4. Reinforced Shock Absorbers:

When we think of smooth drive, we usually think of horsepower and top-performing engine. However, little of us are aware that powerful engine is pretty much useless without driver’s ability to control the car. That’s where shock absorbers take the stage. As their name entails, shock absorbers, literally absorb unpleasant effects of bumpy roads and unavoidable holes thus enhancing driver’s control over the vehicle as well as the overall comfort of all passengers. Our cars has a strong shock absorber that makes driving fun even.


5. Nigerian-Made Features:

The Innoson brand boasts an impressive amount of Nigerian-made content, we manufacture our cars from scratch with authentic Nigerian contents. Furthermore, we took account of all problems a Nigerian car owner faces on the road and developed an antidote for such hazards in our cars like building a car that can withstand the harsh Nigerian sun, unending potholes etc.


6. Comfort:

Comfort is the most common thing everyone looks at when buying a car. Since the invention of our first car, the challenge of enhancing passengers’ comfort has been a major part of our manufacturing process. Various technologies, including its intelligent weather-sensor system and automatic induction headlight system, will bring you to a new level of human—car interaction.


7. Fuel Economy:

Innoson cars come with a continuously variable valve lift mechanism designed for low fuel consumption. The Engine has the capacity to produce a high output, at low fuel consumption and low exhaust emission.


Are you thinking about getting an Innoson car? Then hurry.

About Innocent Chukwuma, Africa’s Automobile Giant

By Solution - April 2, 2019


Africa’s Automobile Giant: Though statistical growth of the country’s vehicle population reflects the huge potential of the subsector, its present state leaves much to be desired as this Africa’s most populous nation continues to import over 500,000 vehicles yearly.

Nigeria’s automobile industry is a goldmine. The country boasts of a vehicle population of over 11,800,000. 57.50% of its vehicle population belong to the commercial category while 41.17% make up the private car owners. Government owns 1.28%, while diplomats cover 0.05% of the total vehicle population.

However, there is one man striving hard to change the narrative.

The man called Innocent Chukwuma Africa’s Automobile Giant

Dr. Innocent Chukwuma is the Founder/Chairman of IVM Innoson Group with subsidiaries such as Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited, Africa’s first indigenous vehicle manufacturing company; Innoson Nigeria Ltd, General Tyres and Tubes and Innoson Technical and Industrial Company Ltd.

Innoson
L-R: Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed and Chairman Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) during a visit to IVM factory in Nnewi, Anambra State

He is a business magnate who braved all the obstacles to establish a company that manufactures durable and affordable brand new automobiles for Africans. His company based in Nnewi, a town in Anambra State, south-eastern Nigeria, produces cars, pickup, SUVs, vans, and buses.

A travel back in time

Chukuwma was born in Nnewi, Anambra State, in 1961. At 17, after his secondary school education, he started working at his elder brother, Gabriel’s store. His brother sold pharmaceutical products. While he worked for his brother, he soon discovered that he had a talent for trading.

In 1978, encouraged by Gabriel, Chukwuma went on to become an apprentice to Chief Romanus Eze Onwuka, the biggest dealer in motorcycle spare parts at the Nnewi Market.

Onwuka was also the founder of the first private sports stadium in Nigeria.

A year later, Chukwuma returned to his brother, Gabriel who helped him register a business called Gabros International. The outfit dealt in the sale of motorcycle spare parts. Chukwuma’s start-up capital was N3,000.

By the end of 1980, Gabros International was making ten times more than his brother’s medicine store.

Gabriel had to shut down the store to join his brother in the spare parts business. The duo however parted ways a year later.

The journey from spare part sales to automobile manufacturing

Chukwuma upon learning that many people were importing used motorcycles into Nigeria and making money, decided to take a trip abroad to see how it was all done.

He realised there were four companies bringing in the motorcycles at the time. These companies were Leventis, Yamaco, Boulous, and CFAO.

He noticed that when they imported the motorcycles, they would bring them in crates, and each crate could only contain one motorcycle, which would take up a lot of space. This meant only 40 crates could be put into a 40-foot container, and upon arrival, the motorcycles would become naturally expensive to buyers.

This insight gave him a great idea. He would purchase the motorcycles overseas, and disassemble them before he shipped them. This enabled him ship 200 motorcycles in parts, in one 40-foot container.

When he returned to Nigeria, he would reassemble them. He would then sell his motorcycles for 40% less than his competitors’ prices. This tactic brought down the average cost of buying a motorcycle from 150,000 Naira to 60,000 Naira This of course boosted his sales and revenues.

He further realised that motorcycles usually contained much plastic. This eventually prompted him to set up a plastic factory in Nigeria, which is now one of the largest in Africa.

However, in 2002, Chukwuma started facing challenges.

“Everybody, including the Indians in Nigeria, seemed to be involved in the motorcycle business. Worst of all, state governments started banning commercial motorcycles as a means of urban transit due to the involvement of okada riders in heinous crimes and high fatalities. The future of the business became bleak”, he said in an interview with a local newspaper.

Unrelenting in his entrepreneurial adventure, he decided to go into motor manufacturing. He spent years learning the process, touring Asian countries to acquire the skills, knowledge and network with car manufacturers before setting up his company Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM) in Nnewi.

In 2014, this maverick industrialist, unveiled his company’s new cars; IVM Umu, IVM Umu and IVM Uzo.

Today, IVM Innoson Group provides income to over 10,000 indirect workers and over 7,300 direct employees in Nigeria. Not only is Chukwuma an employer of labour, he is also a source of inspiration to many budding entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

Success nuggets

Chukwuma believes in three core principles; Honesty, Innovation and Courage. He is known for his ” can do” attitude’ and price slash strategy, that is reducing costs to increase sales.

Legal battle

Innoson Group and its embattled Chairman, Chukwuma have been accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes to have forged documents to facilitate the clearing of some goods at the port. The Innoson Group boss was specifically accused of forging documents purportedly emanating from GTBank. The automobile genius has insisted that he is not guilty as charged.

The matter which is still in court, has not however had any significant dent on the image of Chukwuma and his business.

After all, in law, every accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
