Nigeria’s leading automobile firm, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing has dismissed as false the report making rounds on the social media that the Federal Government had ordered the firm to relocate to Lagos or Kaduna states.
The firm is headquartered in Nnewi, Anambra State south-eastern part of the country.
In a statement issued by Cornel Osigwe, Innoson’s Head of Corporate Communications, the indigenous company had never been under pressure to relocate.
He said, “There has never been any order and there will never be any order either from the Federal Government or its agencies to Innoson Vehicles to relocate his Vehicle Manufacturing Plant which is based in Nnewi to Lagos, Kaduna or any other place.
“Innoson Vehicles has continually maintained a robust relationship with the Federal Government specifically under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR.
“For example, under this present administration, Nnewi Auto-Industrial Park was initiated to support automobile parts manufacturing companies to come together and deliver support services, vehicle components, and raw materials required by the teeming automobile manufacturing companies in Nigeria.
“A major beneficially of this initiative is Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing.”
