Info For Y'all Nigeria Breaks Into Automotive Technology Scientific Discipline Producing Powerful Made-In-Nigeria Cars

By Dr Onyema G.Nkwocha

Finally Nigeria Produces Made-In-Nigeria Cars

People of the World, Nigeria, too Africa at large, I choose you lot proficient news! The long awaited “golden fleece” of technological breakthrough has finally arrived, too is aggressively anchored at the heartland of Nigeria.

First of all my CONGRATULATIONS goes to the illustrious Nigerian son, Chief (Dr.) Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma (OFR), founder, developer, too possessor too CEO of Nigeria’s outset indigenous motor vehicle manufacturing firm, INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM).

Personally, I have got been next the evolution of this Nigeria’s outset indigenous fledgling technological “miracle” since I heard of its inception inwards 2007. As was good deserved, Chukwuma caught the entire basis yesteryear surprise when on Oct 15, 2010 he invited President Goodluck Jonathan to committee the INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing Plant at Nnewi, Anambra State of Nigeria.

During this August occasion, IVM’s Team too leadership were able to present off to the basis an entire assembly of a consummate describe of made inwards Nigeria IVM Cars, SUV’s, Semi-Trucks too Luxurious air-conditioned Buses. President Jonathan could non live whatsoever prouder because nether his administration, this fledgling IVM Company was able to intermission through the long awaited “golden fleece” of technological know-how!

On the twenty-four lx minutes menses President Jonathan commissioned IVM, he had declared that he commended the founder of the companionship for his laudable efforts because the motor companionship volition practise project opportunities for many a Nigerian too every bit good volition assist to amend the national economy.

Amplifying the President's speech
Let me amplify too unload a footling to a greater extent than on what the President had said inwards a nutshell. IVM has opened the gateway to Nigeria’s too entire Africa’s technological evolution that has eluded Africa too has long been awaited inwards coming.

Today, that engineering is directly amongst Africa (although South Africa has auto manufacturing companies representing BMW, Ford Motors, GM, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Renault, Toyota too Volkswagen), I practise non know whatsoever of these that were originally indigenous to South Africa. Neither practise I know how much South Africa tried to role that engineering to assist develop Africa. The responsibleness directly lies amongst Nigeria amongst this newly acquired technology, which inwards my judgment she must guide too guard jealously.

From the perspective of a supporter of Africa’s Technological evolution too adviser at-large too advocate for both IVM too like breakthrough arrangement soundless inwards the making, inwards my personal opinion, I intend IVM’s breakthrough inwards the automotive engineering has placed Nigeria too the entire Africa at the cusp of industrial/technological development.

If Jonathan’s Government too direction should have got note, what the Chairman of IVM, Chief Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma has done inwards these yesteryear 6 twelvemonth was to salve Nigeria billions of US$ she would have got paid to Ford, GM, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Peugeot etc to transfer the motor vehicle engineering needed to build an auto manufacturing Plant for Nigeria.

Today, that demand is fulfilled yesteryear IVM too thus the demand to unnecessarily pass that money, no longer existent.

The many significance(s) of this REVOLUTION
IVM has merely opened the gateways to technological Revolution inwards Nigeria too Africa.

From this point, now, IVM would demand to diversify into automated Agricultural equipment manufacturing that volition Pb to mechanized Agriculture.

Next, Nigerians, IVM Customers volition non know the lineament of IVM motors too volition non relish the gustation of “home-grown “line of the state-of-the-art-vehicles until Jonathan’s authorities role the muscles too ability of the Federal powerfulness of Nigeria to redesign, rebuild too prepare roads to accommodate the 21st century too beyond transformational needs.

Without adequate roads to adequate to the lineament of IVM motors, it volition live hard to wean Nigerian’s off the gustation of unusual cars. Hence Nigeria’s authorities needs to catch edifice proficient roads too tying its federal subventions to State governments to the nature too weather condition of roads inwards their diverse States – No proficient roads built too no Federal subvention received yesteryear the State!

My advice to Chief Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma is to role his supporters’ influences too resources including his ain powers to urge both Federal too State Law Makers to function yesteryear laws compelling the Federal too State Governments to rebuild all Nigerian roads. Without Good roads, it volition live hard to sense how proficient IVM motors are.

IVM directly has the capacity to diversify into route structure heavy equipments to fill upward the gap. With route structure machineries directly built inwards Nigeria, the spending of Nigeria’s unusual reserve inwards social club to pay for these machineries volition live reduced too the coin invested inwards other majuscule ventures. Furthermore, amongst available route structure equipments, the rebuilding of Nigeria’s roads becomes an tardily project to accomplish.

Any too all aspects of Industrialization that would require “AUTOMATION” too “ELECTRIFICATION” or “POWER” should directly sign-up amongst IVM for exploratory feasibilities studies too possible accomplishment. According to Winston Churchill, “what nosotros own, nosotros hold!”

In this light, to give this novel engineering the massive attention, awareness too resources it deserves to practise Nigeria too Africa the “Good” of all, all Nigerian Universities are hereby encouraged to laid upward partnerships amongst IVM to laid upward Workshops at their Universities too Colleges of Technology for the Auto-Mechanical electrical, reckoner scientific discipline engineering departments.

From the puddle of these students who volition live researching into experimenting too improving the electrical flow reason of IVM’s technology, IVM too the nation of Nigeria volition remain abreast of the novel automotive engineering – the state-of-the-art, if you lot will.

Not entirely this, IVM has opened the doorways for Nigeria, COLD-REFRIGERATOR Industry. With the AC engineering IVM employed inwards AC its lines of vehicles, the companionship volition non uncovering it hard to branch into Air-conditioning manufacture – manufacturing.

When Nigeria start edifice “old rooms” for the preservation of nutrient stuff, medicine, preservation of life too organs inwards the hospitals, too so nosotros must have got come upward total circle of basic technological development. And IVM directly holds the fundamental to all that technological need.

Though lastly inwards this mini-series but non least, the Nigerian Military industrial complex tin directly partner amongst IVM to start exploring its armed services industrial technological science. After all, the Nigerian armed services corps has variously talented human resources whose interests inwards life are varied every bit much every bit those of civilians. IVM volition offering them the chance to essay their hands inwards engineering too engineering. They could start developing Nigeria’s outset paradigm dwelling manufactured armed services vehicles, armored vehicles etc.

What should Jonathan’s direction practise to meet to it that Nigeria eventually takes off technological from this precursor laid yesteryear IVM is to pose inwards place? I intend merchandise policies that volition protect internal-breakthroughs too businesses such every bit IVM demand to live pose inwards identify to PREVENT unusual stifling. Nigeria needs directly to restrain the charge per unit of measurement of vehicle importation from unusual markets too instead, function yesteryear laws that require patronizing the dwelling made IVM too other locally manufactured vehicles too products.

At the destination of this mini-series, again, from the perspective of a supporter of Africa’s Technological evolution too adviser at-large, too advocate for both IVM too like breakthrough organizations soundless inwards the making, allow me propose the IVM too its founder too CEO, Chief Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma, allow me propose you lot to function into “mass-Production” at affordable price too you lot would have got reaped an unimagined provide on your investment!

Now allow me percentage amongst you lot the founder of America’s Ford Motors, Henry Ford’s philosophy which he shared amongst the people of the basis at the production of his Ford Model T inwards 1908 ( delight note, the underlined emphasis are mine):
"I volition build a auto for the keen multitude. It volition live large plenty for the family, but modest plenty for the private to run too aid for. It volition live constructed of the best materials, yesteryear the best men to live hired, afterwards the simplest designs that modern engineering tin devise. But it volition live so depression inwards toll that no human making a proficient salary volition live unable to ain 1 – too relish amongst his household unit of measurement the approbation of hours of pleasance inwards God's keen opened upward spaces.” Henry Ford.

Message to Africa too Nigeria
To our African nations too leaders, delight come upward to Nigeria, patronize IVM. Go into partnerships amongst IVM to replicate too build like IVM Plants inwards your Countries. With the 52 closed to countries inwards Africa, each edifice an IVM Plant inwards their Africa would have got solved the occupation of motor manufacturing too from there, delve into soundless other of import too offshoot technologies.

To Nigeria too President Goodluck Jonathan, delight recollect that Winston Churchill 1 time said, “What nosotros own, nosotros hold!” Please IVM’s engineering is yours now. You ain it, delight concur it. Patronize IVM. President Jonathan, delight function yesteryear laws that would enable IVM to travel too non live stifled yesteryear unusual competition. Please I urge your authorities to catch edifice a partnership amongst IVM on other technological needs that Nigeria electrical flow has.

Nigeria 1 time lost a golden chance at the destination of the civil state of war for technological advancement; allow us non lose it again. IVM, the long awaited “golden fleece” of technological breakthrough has finally arrived, too is aggressively anchored at the heartland of Nigeria. This occasion is drive for every evolution loving Nigeria to rejoice too encourage back upward for our outset indigenous dwelling grown IVM describe of motor vehicle.

Again, Congratulations to Chief (Dr.) Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma (OFR), founder, developer, too possessor too CEO of Nigeria’s outset indigenous motor vehicle manufacturing firm, INNOSON Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited (IVM) too Team!
