Nigeria- At the moment, about 23 automakers have signified interest to set up assembly plants in Nigeria, according to the Director-General of the National Automotive Council, Mr. Aminu Jalal, at the fifth Conference of the Haulage and Logistics Magazine organised by the Intelligent Data Company in Lagos, Punch reports.
“Of the 23 companies that have signified commitments with their technical partners to set up assembly operations in Nigeria, six of them are interested in car and sport utility vehicles; five are interested in minibuses, five in pickup trucks and eight in the assembling trucks.
“These eight companies will be in addition to the existing National Truck Manufacturer in Kano. One of them has started assembly operations; two would start before the end of the year, while the rest will begin early next year.”
He added that five of the eight truck assembly plants would be located in Lagos, “The assembly plants are Aston Motors located on the Lagos/Badagry Expressway, which will produce the Aston brand of trucks; Pasco Nigeria Limited located on Oyo Road, opposite Ojo Market in Ibadan, which will produce JVC trucks; Nigeria Sino trucks Limited located at Surulere, Lagos which will produce Sino trucks; SCOA Nigeria Plc on Apapa/Oshodi Expressway, Isolo, which will produce MAN Diesel trucks; Tata Nigeria Limited, Lagos, which will produce Tata range of trucks; Trans Limited, in partnership with Leventis Motors, a division of AG Leventis , which will produce Volkswagen, Foton and Acer trucks; while Transit Support Services at Amuwo Odofin, Lagos, will produce Chapman trucks.”
“As we develop our industry too, the logistics industry will also develop correspondingly and that is why we are very much interested in your affairs. The automotive development will therefore be good news to the logistics industry.
“The policy will provide affordable vehicles backed up with after-sales service by the manufacturers. It is always better to have good support services; otherwise you might not be able to achieve your goals if the vehicles are not properly maintained.”
