[00:00:08] is about more than producing vehicle, supporting local businesses and
[00:00:11] building economy that can stand strong, as Nigeria promotes
[00:00:15] energy solution like CNG, we appreciate the
[00:00:19] effort and policies that support this transition,
[00:00:22] however for a country to develop strong industies, we must create an
[00:00:26] environment that encourage investors and industrials to build here.
[00:00:30] when policies
[00:00:32] me making importing products easier than producing locally, it can
[00:00:35] discourage those that want to invest, build factories, create jobs
[00:00:39] and develop technology within Nigeria. Industrial growth
[00:00:43] requires commitment, because building factory take years
[00:00:47] of investment, training, planning and dedication.
[00:00:51] Our hope is that policies will continue to support
[00:00:54] local productions, because every factory established in Nigeria
[00:00:58] create opportunities. for Nigerians are stating their economy, when we
[00:01:02] manufacture here, we create job here, develop skills here and
[00:01:06] build a stronger future for Nigeria, hidden in
[00:01:10] the heart of Anambra state, lies
[00:01:13] a city unlike any other in West Africa,
[00:01:17] town where every street comes with
[00:01:20] industry and
[00:01:22] of innovation, this is Newi and
[00:01:26] today we are meeting the man who dared to put
[00:01:30] Nigeria on the automotive
[00:01:32] map,
[00:01:40] I am here to meet the trail blazer himself,
[00:01:44] innocent Chukuma, but before the engines
[00:01:48] war, before the machines awaken, a
[00:01:51] leader

[00:04:25] vehicle and our destination is IVM
[00:04:28] factory.
[00:04:47] He says he makes it a policy to test drive every
[00:04:51] car for a period of at least three months
[00:04:54] before it hits the
[00:04:56] market.
[00:05:04] Wow, this is a this
[00:05:07] car has
[00:05:10] of everything that can is. as we walk out, lock
[00:05:13] itself, as far as we shift out of it, it
[00:05:17] locks automatically, automatic, we shift out of it, i have le that
[00:05:21] place to lock out, can't open again and i lock
[00:05:31] factory, the harm of machinery, sparks of
[00:05:34] welding and rore of engines tell a new kind of
[00:05:38] success
[00:05:38] story.
[00:05:54] This is Innocent vehicle manufacturing,
[00:05:57] Africa's first indigenous car maker and it's
[00:06:01] driving a big change in Nigeria's automobile
[00:06:04] sector,
[00:06:06] this is where we the manufacture, even the company is
[00:06:09] here now, you see. engine
[00:06:12] produces 15 se bosses yes no
[00:06:16] down 17 se 18
[00:06:20] se 15 c only can
[00:06:22] produce
[00:06:32] here this ch oh this
[00:06:35] production
[00:06:39] 100% 100% wow
[00:07:12] i started producing chang in all buses and
[00:07:16] cng all cars now yes
[00:07:18] and there is some them that use
[00:07:22] cng and also use but also convert to
[00:07:26] cng but now we focus on producing
[00:07:30] because economics mainly commercial
[00:07:33] vehicles so that the transporter can make
[00:07:36] it what about the concerns people say oh the gas can
[00:07:40] explode no people did not understand what is
[00:07:44] CNG and the normal gas cylinder for
[00:07:47] cooking? yes, some people are trying to use
[00:07:50] the one for king is safer, it can
[00:07:54] explode, we have a system immediately you
[00:07:57] maintain the guideline, it's more safer
[00:08:01] than, we started the production before the
[00:08:04] government attention on it, we
[00:08:07] are doing, many people now are going to cng because of government want people to
[00:08:10] use CNG, but me have started two years
[00:08:13] before, yes we know the system,
[00:08:17] we we design it and we are doing it correct, founded
[00:08:20] in 2007, innocent motors
[00:08:24] has grown from daring idea to a symbol of local
[00:08:28] pride now producing a wide range of
[00:08:32] vehicles from slick sadens to rugged pickups and
[00:08:35] buses, tailored to nigerian
[00:08:38] roads.
[00:09:02] These cars are designed with the Nigerian
[00:09:05] terrain in mind, durable, fuel
[00:09:09] efficient and most importantly affor
[00:09:12] b)
[00:09:41] asally. Yeah,
[00:09:45] my next stop is electric vehicles which are gaining traction
[00:09:49] here in Nigeria and the continent with both
[00:09:52] local and international brands offering
[00:09:55] options.
[00:09:59] People are so much interested and because of
[00:10:03] how uh you look at
[00:10:06] it.
[00:10:13] no engine, wow, electric, but you can
[00:10:16] move, you can drive it and you can go
[00:10:20] anywhere anywhere, yes, anywhere, this one
[00:10:23] cover the... you cover 400 km
[00:10:27] 400 km 400 km charge again because that's the
[00:10:30] one concerns for people, this is 400
[00:10:38] about how do we get to charge, 400
[00:10:41] km
[00:10:42] you can sh
[00:10:45] andy if you are to
[00:10:45] go for a walk can you drive 400 km you
[00:10:48] understand? so is
[00:10:50] enough,
[00:10:53] yes we have too many charging stations in Nigeria, small
[00:10:57] times will be everywhere, because another small times will be everywhere, so where do
[00:11:01] we charge this car now? where's the charging and for fuel? like here,
[00:11:05] we charge it in this fashion, we have a charging,
[00:11:07] i have charging point here, here that's
[00:11:10] what i as businessman, i'm sure you be in to
[00:11:13] someday have factory
[00:11:15] that any state by buy
[00:11:19] enough electric vehicle for me and make a charging point in
[00:11:25] 'wow, if they buy enough quantity from me, for
[00:11:29] myself, I'll make a charging point in the city,
[00:11:33] where the charger can charge electric vehicles, yes any state,
[00:11:37] I'm ready to do that for them, wow, have you done it for any
[00:11:40] states yet? yes, I'm negotiating to do, oh
[00:11:48] players here in Nigeria, producing various electric vehicles
[00:11:51] and while the current EV adoption'. rate is
[00:11:55] relatively low, it's steadily increasing field
[00:11:59] by rising fuel cost, environmental concerns and
[00:12:03] growing demand for urban transport.
[00:12:06] Nigeria has also set ambitious goals,
[00:12:09] including when 100% zero emission sales for
[00:12:13] new cars and vans by 2040, but
[00:12:17] is this target
[00:12:19] feasible future people go to
[00:12:22] CNG.
[00:12:25] nigeans they will go to cng more
[00:12:28] because yes electric car um
[00:12:33] doesn't know like you battery can have about 80
[00:12:37] years livespan and if the battery die in 80 years of life
[00:12:41] farm you will buy a new battery until
[00:12:45] we have factory here that produce battery that you can take your old battery
[00:12:49] and the
[00:12:49] they take small money and give you new one that's where the
[00:12:53] electric car will go. if your factory start to produce the battery
[00:12:56] here, as
[00:12:58] soon as the battery is not here, after 80 years this original battery will
[00:13:01] go, you must change it, and the cost the battery
[00:13:05] will cost you not less than uh 40, 40%
[00:13:09] the 80 years, this original battery will go, you must change
[00:13:12] it, and the cost the battery, it cost you not
[00:13:16] less than uh 40, 40% the car,
[00:13:20] he
[00:13:37] both motors from there i start motorcycle
[00:13:40] assembling when i start motorcycle assembling it is only
[00:13:44] very few company are doing motorcycle assembling
[00:13:48] honda is doing for um are
[00:13:52] doing for honda b are doing for ' for
[00:13:55] suzuki circle assembling honda is
[00:13:58] doing for are doing for
[00:14:02] honda b are doing for
[00:14:05] suzuki
[00:14:08] -
[00:14:11] some bands so my company is the fifth company
[00:14:14] that
[00:14:15] make assembling so from
[00:14:18] there uh
[00:14:21] do plastic manufacturing i
[00:14:26] am producing
[00:14:30] where i plastic, my plastic company is the largest in west africa,
[00:14:33] i'm being today, wow, yes, i have very large plastic
[00:14:37] company, i have
[00:14:39] also factory, and also i have tire
[00:14:43] factory, motorcycle tire
[00:14:44] factory, so before i think of
[00:14:48] motor manufacturing, so when i look, i feel that
[00:14:52] nigerians - al go to buy secondh
[00:14:56] vehicles, so I look at it and study why
[00:15:00] my just going back to buy second vehicle. I f that
[00:15:04] because of it's too expensive, I decide to
[00:15:08] do it here so that the price will be down for
[00:15:11] people, that's what makes me to go and start motor
[00:15:15] manufacturing.
[00:15:18] IVM has partnered with state government, security
[00:15:22] agencies and professional institutions
[00:15:26] supplying customized vehicles and offering technical
[00:15:30] training, there's
[00:15:33] a time are disturbing some
[00:15:36] areas. northan side of Nigeria and Nigeria air
[00:15:40] force are ready to work, but because
[00:15:44] of some problems they cannot get their sphere pass from
[00:15:48] oversea, when they come to me they
[00:15:51] are black assembling and I manufacture it in my
[00:15:54] faction even better than the one they
[00:15:57] import, I do it for them, give them, that's what they
[00:16:01] use to tackle
[00:16:03] the their job that time, and they recommended me to
[00:16:07] defense. academy, they give a doctorate degree
[00:16:10] because of that effort i make, when there
[00:16:14] is - covid-19, so there's
[00:16:18] no ambulances, they come to me, i
[00:16:22] produce massive ambulances to nigerans, that time they cannot even
[00:16:26] import it, nobody can, but i produce the local, give
[00:16:29] them, that's it is important to support to
[00:16:33] support local, if you're supporting the local man, when there is
[00:16:36] emergency, which you have, the
[00:16:40] company doesn't just assemble cars, it builds
[00:16:44] opportunities with over 70% of vehicle
[00:16:47] components made locally, the company has become a key
[00:16:51] employer across the southeast region, directly and
[00:16:55] indirectly creating thousands of jobs in
[00:16:57] manufacturing, logistics, sales and
[00:17:01] service, yet perhaps the most
[00:17:04] transformative part of Innocent Story. is not what
[00:17:08] i buils in factories, but what it buils in
[00:17:12] people. what i employ is that if you capable
[00:17:15] to do the job where i employ, no matter where you are from,
[00:17:19] i'm not interested in tr, i'm interested to
[00:17:22] you to work, if you are working well, you are my
[00:17:26] friend, so i'm not interested
[00:17:30] to to ask, are you from
[00:17:32] which religion, it's not important, the important is for you to do the job
[00:17:36] well, and in states Kaduna and Kano IVM
[00:17:39] vehicles are becoming common sites from rugged pickup
[00:17:42] trucks used in farming to buses serving
[00:17:46] local schools and government agencies, but what's
[00:17:50] next for chief innocent Chukuma and
[00:17:54] the IVM brand? because of CNG and electric
[00:17:58] motor i'm building new factory that will
[00:18:01] contain uh um I want
[00:18:05] to separate the factory so... that one will be for the small
[00:18:08] cars, one will be for big ones, so the the
[00:18:12] new factory will be for the big trucks because the space,
[00:18:16] factory that has capacity to
[00:18:19] produce um cng, buses and
[00:18:23] truck about 30,00 a year,
[00:18:26] because with that factory
[00:18:29] now uh, when the CNG pick in
[00:18:32] Nigeria, without that factor it will be difficult to
[00:18:35] supply, so I'm... is already and it should be ready in
[00:18:39] short time. Innocent Motors isn't
[00:18:43] just factory, it's a simple, a bold
[00:18:47] statement that Africa can build,
[00:18:50] innovate and compete with over
[00:18:53] 10,000 vehicles on African roads and counting.
[00:18:57] Innocent Motors is now the pride the
[00:19:01] continent. IVM is proving that Nigeria
[00:19:04] doesn't have to rely soly on imports. It's not just about
[00:19:08] cars, it's about sovereignty, jobs and a
[00:19:12] future where we export and not just
[00:19:15] consumed, from tackling unemployment to giving
[00:19:19] Nigeria seat at the table in the global auto
[00:19:23] industry, innocent Motors isn't just building
[00:19:27] vehicles, it's building vision, and as the wheels of
[00:19:31] progress turn, the road ahead looks
[00:19:34] promising.
[00:19:38] As Nigeria looks to diversify its economy and embrace
[00:19:42] home grown innovation, companies like
[00:19:45] Innocent the country into a new
[00:19:49] era, one vehicle a time, from the
[00:19:52] streets of Newi to the highways of
[00:19:56] Africa, chief Innocent Chukuma's
[00:19:59] vision rows ahead, he is more than an
[00:20:02] entrepreneur, chief Chukuma is behind
[00:20:06] this home. grown revolution, that's why he
[00:20:10] is an amazing
[00:20:12] African.
[00:20:23] From his days of little beginnings to
[00:20:26] building a dynasty in the automobile
[00:20:30] industry, chief innocent Chukuma's
[00:20:33] story is exceptionally
[00:20:36] inspirational. and that's why he is an
[00:20:39] amazing African,
