Local Assembly Plant to launch its first set of automobiles.
An indigenous auto assembly plant based in Enugu, Innoson Group of Companies, is to launch its first automobile products in Nigeria in December.
A director in the company, Mr. Augustine Onwuka, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the weekend in Enugu that the vehicles included a jeep and an 18-seater bus.
According to Onwuka, "these vehicles will be affordable to many Nigerians as they will sell below N1 Million. "
The director said that all the body parts, upholsteries and tyres are being manufactured in the country, but the engines are being imported.
The factory is located at Umudim, Nnewi in Anambra.
A branch of the company also produces plastic chairs, kitchen utensils, motorcycles, suspended ceilings, wall boards, toilet seats, as well as pre-paid metre boxes for the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN).
The director urged Nigerians to patronise made-in Nigeria products in view of their improved qualities.
``In no distant time, many Nigerians will own houses and cars because our company is geared toward improving people's living standards,'' he added.
LETS HOPE THE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA WILL ASSIST HER PRIVATE CITIZENS COME DECEMBER OR SHOULD THEY? :
Hail Biafra

The important thing is there a an indigenous private individually owned auto assembly plant based in the east and not financed by the government. The Igbos have always made their own way, not looking for some dirty handouts from the Igbo hating federal government. No matter where it is based, whether at Enugu or at Nnewi, it's still in the Iboland and I pray that it prosper and stay bless. I hope more like that would spring up all over the Igboland to give our people the much needed jobs. Long may it live. Hail Biafra

AGREE I was amazed and captivated by the wonderful and collective effort of the Owerri Airport by the people. The airport was busy in the moorning with two flights scheduled a day for each airline; morning [9 AM] and [5PM]evening and with one runway.It was busy in the morning during my flight to Lagos, mmmmmm about 55 minutes flight time. The airport made me more proud Igboman and mutiplied my ego 1000 megabyte as a Biafran. The airport is an indication of Igbo's ingenuity and hands off government.The airport once again certified the Igbos from the rest of the Nigerians as republican gods; hard working, industrious and able bodied sons of gun. I am really impressed. Just give it another 10 years for both an upgrade and expansion. I don't have to fly to Port Hacourt to get to Aba rather Owerri stands as a choice for me. I can't wait for Enugu to become international; It will be waypoint one---> Biafra.I will be able to boycott the dusty, congested and trashy Lagos.

Bro! that shouldn't surprise you men, we did it at the nick of time during the war at Uli,when all hell was let loose on a defenceless people, imagine what could be achieved this time around in a peace-time. You see the blind leading the country of sighted people has driven the intellects away from that country. Biafra constructed roads out of nothing but forests and bushes, built bridges and made things. But look at roads in Nigeria now, there is non from Lagos to the East. I have always wondered where the Biafran scientists in the R&D Umudike that came up with the gargets our reps took to Aburi as well as the ogbunigwe, have all gone. Though I ran into the guy who invented the ogbunigwe in London last year. Biafra had refinery constructed from the scratch out of nothing, but Kaduna refinery cost the wastful nigerian government millions of dollars when money was money and not now that Nigerian currency has become worst than CFA. I will always keep the memories of that hard thirty months in a high place in my heart, as I've told my children the story of Biafra, and have put the good memory in a fiction story because if the story of the WWII is still being told, why shouldn't we remain ourselve of what happened and why the only solution in that elephant with clay leggs called nigeria is the dissolution of that union. No matter how many states are carved out and LGA created, the only way is for the Igbos to take care of themselves as well as the hausas,yorubas Effiks, Rivers and the bins to do the same.
