Made in Nigeria Project Team Embarks on Official Visit to Innoson Manufacturing Factory in Nnewi, Anambra State

As part of ongoing stakeholder engagements aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s industrialization drive, the Made in Nigeria Project Team has paid an official working visit to the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) factory in Nnewi, Anambra State. The visit forms a key component of the Project’s nationwide Factory and Industrial Stakeholders Tour, designed to encourage local production, deepen industrial capacity, and promote the “Industrialized Nigeria” agenda.



Strengthening Local Manufacturing Through Strategic Collaboration

Innoson Manufacturing, Nigeria’s pioneer indigenous automotive company, represents the spirit of local innovation and national industrial pride. The Made in Nigeria Project Team’s visit underscores the Federal Government’s renewed commitment to supporting local manufacturers who are contributing to job creation, technology transfer, and national economic growth.

The visit provided an opportunity for the team to:

  • Inspect manufacturing processes, including vehicle assembly, component fabrication, and quality control systems

  • Engage with management and technical staff on production capacity and challenges

  • Identify areas for collaboration in national product promotion and local content development

  • Strengthen partnerships that advance Nigeria’s transition from a consumption-based economy to a production-driven nation

Supporting the Industrialized Nigeria Project

The Industrialized Nigeria Project remains a flagship agenda of the Made in Nigeria initiative—focusing on expanding local manufacturing, boosting SME competitiveness, and reducing overdependence on imported goods.

Through such factory visits, the Project aims to:

  • Promote Nigerian-made products across domestic and international markets

  • Encourage investment in local industrial clusters

  • Highlight success stories of indigenous manufacturers like Innoson

  • Strengthen the national value chain for automotive production

  • Foster public-private cooperation to accelerate industrial growth

Innoson’s achievements in producing affordable, durable, and locally assembled vehicles align strongly with the goals of the Made in Nigeria Project Office.

Innoson as a National Industrial Asset

Located in Nnewi, Anambra State, one of Nigeria’s most vibrant industrial hubs—Innoson continues to demonstrate that indigenous companies can compete globally when supported with the right policies and partnerships.

The factory tour reaffirmed that:

  • Innoson has the technical capacity to scale up automobile production

  • The company contributes significantly to local employment and youth empowerment

  • Nigeria possesses the potential to become a leading automotive manufacturing center in Africa

  • Strategic government support can drive mass adoption of locally made vehicles

A Major Boost for Local Content and National Branding

The Made in Nigeria Project Team reiterated its commitment to promoting Nigerian products through:

  • National branding initiatives

  • International trade missions and exhibitions

  • Product certification and packaging support

  • Stakeholder engagements with manufacturers, MDAs, and private-sector players

The Innoson visit marks another milestone in the effort to champion the “Buy Nigeria, Grow Naira” vision and elevate Nigerian-made products to global standards.

Conclusion

The official working visit to the Innoson Manufacturing factory reflects the Federal Government’s broader strategy to advance industrial development, promote indigenous innovation, and strengthen local production capacity.

As Nigeria continues on its path toward economic diversification, partnerships with forward-thinking manufacturers like Innoson remain essential for achieving a truly industrialized nation.
