“We as citizens, our governments, both state and federal owe it to
Innoson Motors for support and patronage. Besides, the more the company
grows, the more the country will benefit in the forms of employment
opportunities, research and development, and the incalculable economics
benefits of balance of trade“..... Sunny Onuesoke.
"Patronizing
the company’s products will serve as catalyst for the growth of all
other sectors in the country, aside its contribution to the
country’s GDP growth".
Prominent
Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Sunny Onuesoke has appealed
to the Federal and State governments, Corporate Organizations and individuals
to patronize Innosson Vehicles Manufacturing, makers of homemade Nigerian
vehicles.
Giving
reasons for his appeal for the patronage of the vehicles during his
visit to the premises of Innosson Vehicles Manufacturing, IVM
company located at Nnewi, Anambra state, Onuesoke, the former governorship
aspirant of the party (PDP) in 2007, disclosed that patronizing
the company’s products will serve as catalyst for the growth of all
other sectors in the country, aside its contribution to the
country’s GDP growth.
According
to him, “We as citizens, our governments, both state and federal owe it to
Innoson Motors for support and patronage. Besides, the more the company
grows, the more the country will benefit in the forms of employment
opportunities, research and development, and the incalculable economics
benefits of balance of trade“.
He
explained that for the fact that purchasing power of Nigerians
right now is dilapidated, Innoson has the key to making Nigerians
wanting to buy, stressing that Innosson vehicles can achieve the result
Tesla got in Norway through government subsidizing of Tesla cars for
Norwegians thereby making Tesla almost a national car.
“It
will reduce foreign exchange spent on importation of vehicles”, he
disclosed.
Onuesoke
who pointed out that Nigerians should be proud of such a local company
as Innosson located on its shore, explained that if only government can
boldly and confidently use made-in-Nigeria cars, then the nation will
be on its way to having a better economy because, every other person that can
afford it, will follow suit.
He
said, although government and companies are purchasing their buses,
dump trucks and other utilitarian vehicles as well as ambulances, but felt that,
the quantum of purchases cannot be compared to imports of between
200,000 and 500,000 vehicles annually.
“To
hear that the company is laying-off employees at a season Nigeria needs jobs,
is heartbreaking. Innoson is a goldmine waiting to be mined. If all things
fail, even if the owner is the worst Nigerian, our government should be
buying shares and offering loans to the company”.
“Innoson
is strategically, a treasure for Nigeria. Even government offering expansion
loans to diversify its production, will be in the best interest of Nigeria”,
he stated.
“We
are traveling across the world to find investors, when we have an institution
we can invest in. That is very cost effective. The government can even assist
the industry to find more foreign markets across the globe and help it
transport its automobile and other machines it can manufacture there. It's a
foreign exchange earner of great magnitude, almost like oil”, he said.
