The Guardian report said that the state government congratulated the company for demonstrating a dogged spirit despite the harsh business climate in Nigeria.
Secretary to the state government, Simon Otuanya, praised the company’s vision, which he says is in line with the state government’s policy of promoting the safety of lives and property.
He thanked Ingrace Motors for the donation and informed the firm that the state government will come up with policies to foster its growth and achieve its vision in the interest of Enugu state.
Onu had told the state governor that the company has gotten a license from the Nigerian government to assemble vehicles in the country, saying that they are into a partnership with Chinese companies.
Ingrace entrance breeds competition in auto industry
Ingrace boss said that the auto firm has gotten about 600 plots of land at Ezimo for the Assembly plant and made payment for all the equipment.
Ingrace entrance into the state will bring competition to the automobile industry as another firm, Innoson, is firmly rooted in the state.
The Punch reports that Anambra state government adopted Innoson Motors as its official vehicle, a promise the state governor, Chukwuma Soludo made when he assumed office.
Innoson Motors lauds Soludo’s decision to use its vehicles
Recall that Legit.ng reported that Nigeria’s indigenous carmaker, Innoson Motors, applauded the decision of Anambra state governor-elect, Chukwuma Soludo, to use only vehicles made by them as his official vehicles throughout his tenure as the state governor.
In a statement on Facebook on Thursday, January 26, 2022, Innoson Motors said the news excited its chairman, Innocent Chukwuma who is looking forward to welcoming Soludo to its manufacturing plant upon assumption of office.
This comes after Soludo declared that he will use only locally made vehicles and specifically, from Innoson Motors as long as he remained the governor of Anambra state.
