Speaking on the significance of showcasing Nigeria’s automotive prowess on a global stage, Nwabueze Buchi George, National Coordinator and Executive Director of the organization, said that promoting domestically produced goods, will catalyze economic growth and enhance Nigeria’s presence in the global marketplace.
“This is a pivotal moment for Nigeria’s automotive sector,” remarked Buchi George, emphasizing the project’s aim to position Nigerian-made products on the international map. “Through initiatives like the Buy Made in Nigeria Project, we are not just promoting local businesses but also fostering economic growth and development that align with global standards.”
He further stated that Innoson Motors, a prominent player in Nigeria’s automotive industry, will be leading the Nigerian delegation at the event slated for Abuja and Japan.
The recognition of Innoson Motors to lead the Nigerian delegation shows the company’s role as a torchbearer for the nation’s automotive prowess, according Buch George who also said that they appreciate the compliance of other companies in partnering to achieve the great feat.
