Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing (IVM), a leading automobile manufacturer in Africa, has disclosed that it is on course to fulfill its agreement with the Abia State Government to produce customised Innoson luxury vehicles for all the Abia State House of Assembly lawmakers.
A statement on Saturday by Head, Corporate Communications, Innoson Vehicles, Cornel Osigwe disclosed that the vehicles ordered by the Governor for the members of the Abia State House of Assembly were a special vehicle that require the production of a new frame, which was not previously produced at the factory. “In accordance with the Governor’s initiative to promote local products, we took this project very seriously and produced a sample for approval by the Governor. During this process, the Governor suggested some remodifications, which we promptly implemented to meet his specified requirements.”
“As at today, we would like to inform the public that we have completed all modifications and have addressed any initial defects. The new model vehicles are currently undergoing rigorous testing at our quality control section. We are pleased to announce that the vehicles will be ready by the end of this month and the supply will be completed by the beginning of next month.”
Osigwe said as regards the claim by the Abia State House of Assembly lawmakers that the automaker has been paid upfront for the vehicles, “we want to emphasise that we have not received any payment for the vehicles ordered for the Abia State House of Assembly members. When His Excellency requested payment, we made a conscious decision not to accept any payment until the vehicles are finally produced and delivered. Therefore, the House of Assembly’s claim that payment has been made is inaccurate.”
“We would like to express our gratitude to the Government of Abia State for their continued support and patronage. We want to reassure them that we have taken significant measures to prevent future delays and uphold our commitment to delivering high-quality vehicles.”
Osigwe emphasised that Innoson Vehicles Manufacturing Ltd remains dedicated to providing excellent products and services to our esteemed customers.
