00:00:08is about more than producing vehicle, supporting local businesses and
00:00:11building economy that can stand strong, as Nigeria promotes
00:00:15energy solution like CNG, we appreciate the
00:00:19effort and policies that support this transition,
00:00:22however for a country to develop strong industies, we must create an
00:00:26environment that encourage investors and industrials to build here.
00:00:30when policies
00:00:32me making importing products easier than producing locally, it can
00:00:35discourage those that want to invest, build factories, create jobs
00:00:39and develop technology within Nigeria. Industrial growth
00:00:43requires commitment, because building factory take years
00:00:47of investment, training, planning and dedication.
00:00:51Our hope is that policies will continue to support
00:00:54local productions, because every factory established in Nigeria
00:00:58create opportunities. for Nigerians are stating their economy, when we
00:01:02manufacture here, we create job here, develop skills here and
00:01:06build a stronger future for Nigeria, hidden in

00:08:28pride now producing a wide range of
00:08:32vehicles from slick sadens to rugged pickups and
00:08:35buses, tailored to nigerian
00:08:38roads.
00:09:02These cars are designed with the Nigerian
00:09:05terrain in mind, durable, fuel
00:09:09efficient and most importantly affor
00:09:12b)
00:09:41asally. Yeah,
00:09:45my next stop is electric vehicles which are gaining traction
00:09:49here in Nigeria and the continent with both
00:09:52local and international brands offering
00:09:55options.
00:09:59People are so much interested and because of
00:10:03how uh you look at
00:10:06it.
00:10:13no engine, wow, electric, but you can
00:10:16move, you can drive it and you can go
00:10:20anywhere anywhere, yes, anywhere, this one
00:10:23cover the... you cover 400 km
00:10:27400 km 400 km charge again because that's the
00:10:30one concerns for people, this is 400
00:10:38about how do we get to charge, 400
00:10:41km
00:10:42you can sh
00:10:45andy if you are to
00:10:45go for a walk can you drive 400 km you
00:10:48understand? so is
00:10:50enough,
00:10:53yes we have too many charging stations in Nigeria, small
00:10:57times will be everywhere, because another small times will be everywhere, so where do
00:11:01we charge this car now? where's the charging and for fuel? like here,
00:11:05we charge it in this fashion, we have a charging,
00:11:07i have charging point here, here that's
00:11:10what i as businessman, i'm sure you be in to
00:11:13someday have factory
00:11:15that any state by buy
00:11:19enough electric vehicle for me and make a charging point in
00:11:25'wow, if they buy enough quantity from me, for
00:11:29myself, I'll make a charging point in the city,
00:11:33where the charger can charge electric vehicles, yes any state,
00:11:37I'm ready to do that for them, wow, have you done it for any
00:11:40states yet? yes, I'm negotiating to do, oh
00:11:48players here in Nigeria, producing various electric vehicles
00:11:51and while the current EV adoption'. rate is
00:11:55relatively low, it's steadily increasing field
00:11:59by rising fuel cost, environmental concerns and
00:12:03growing demand for urban transport.
00:12:06Nigeria has also set ambitious goals,
00:12:09including when 100% zero emission sales for
00:12:13new cars and vans by 2040, but
00:12:17is this target
00:12:19feasible future people go to
00:12:22CNG.
00:12:25nigeans they will go to cng more
00:12:28because yes electric car um
00:12:33doesn't know like you battery can have about 80
00:12:37years livespan and if the battery die in 80 years of life
00:12:41farm you will buy a new battery until
00:12:45we have factory here that produce battery that you can take your old battery
00:12:49and the
00:12:49they take small money and give you new one that's where the
00:12:53electric car will go. if your factory start to produce the battery
00:12:56here, as
00:12:58soon as the battery is not here, after 80 years this original battery will
00:13:01go, you must change it, and the cost the battery
00:13:05will cost you not less than uh 40, 40%
00:13:09the 80 years, this original battery will go, you must change
00:13:12it, and the cost the battery, it cost you not
00:13:16less than uh 40, 40% the car,
00:13:20he
00:13:37both motors from there i start motorcycle
00:13:40assembling when i start motorcycle assembling it is only
00:13:44very few company are doing motorcycle assembling
00:13:48honda is doing for um are
00:13:52doing for honda b are doing for ' for
00:13:55suzuki circle assembling honda is
00:13:58doing for are doing for
00:14:02honda b are doing for
00:14:05suzuki
00:14:08-
00:14:11some bands so my company is the fifth company
00:14:14that
00:14:15make assembling so from
00:14:18there uh
00:14:21do plastic manufacturing i
00:14:26am producing
00:14:30where i plastic, my plastic company is the largest in west africa,
00:14:33i'm being today, wow, yes, i have very large plastic
00:14:37company, i have
00:14:39also factory, and also i have tire
00:14:43factory, motorcycle tire
00:14:44factory, so before i think of
00:14:48motor manufacturing, so when i look, i feel that
00:14:52nigerians - al go to buy secondh
00:14:56vehicles, so I look at it and study why
00:15:00my just going back to buy second vehicle. I f that
00:15:04because of it's too expensive, I decide to
00:15:08do it here so that the price will be down for
00:15:11people, that's what makes me to go and start motor
00:15:15manufacturing.
00:15:18IVM has partnered with state government, security
00:15:22agencies and professional institutions
00:15:26supplying customized vehicles and offering technical
00:15:30training, there's
00:15:33a time are disturbing some
00:15:36areas. northan side of Nigeria and Nigeria air
00:15:40force are ready to work, but because
00:15:44of some problems they cannot get their sphere pass from
00:15:48oversea, when they come to me they
00:15:51are black assembling and I manufacture it in my
00:15:54faction even better than the one they
00:15:57import, I do it for them, give them, that's what they
00:16:01use to tackle
00:16:03the their job that time, and they recommended me to
00:16:07defense. academy, they give a doctorate degree
00:16:10because of that effort i make, when there
00:16:14is - covid-19, so there's
00:16:18no ambulances, they come to me, i
00:16:22produce massive ambulances to nigerans, that time they cannot even
00:16:26import it, nobody can, but i produce the local, give
00:16:29them, that's it is important to support to
00:16:33support local, if you're supporting the local man, when there is
00:16:36emergency, which you have, the
00:16:40company doesn't just assemble cars, it builds
00:16:44opportunities with over 70% of vehicle
00:16:47components made locally, the company has become a key
00:16:51employer across the southeast region, directly and
00:16:55indirectly creating thousands of jobs in
00:16:57manufacturing, logistics, sales and
00:17:01service, yet perhaps the most
00:17:04transformative part of Innocent Story. is not what
00:17:08i buils in factories, but what it buils in
00:17:12people. what i employ is that if you capable
00:17:15to do the job where i employ, no matter where you are from,
00:17:19i'm not interested in tr, i'm interested to
00:17:22you to work, if you are working well, you are my
00:17:26friend, so i'm not interested
00:17:30to to ask, are you from
00:17:32which religion, it's not important, the important is for you to do the job
00:17:36well, and in states Kaduna and Kano IVM
00:17:39vehicles are becoming common sites from rugged pickup
00:17:42trucks used in farming to buses serving
00:17:46local schools and government agencies, but what's
00:17:50next for chief innocent Chukuma and
00:17:54the IVM brand? because of CNG and electric
00:17:58motor i'm building new factory that will
00:18:01contain uh um I want
00:18:05to separate the factory so... that one will be for the small
00:18:08cars, one will be for big ones, so the the
00:18:12new factory will be for the big trucks because the space,
00:18:16factory that has capacity to
00:18:19produce um cng, buses and
00:18:23truck about 30,00 a year,
00:18:26because with that factory
00:18:29now uh, when the CNG pick in
00:18:32Nigeria, without that factor it will be difficult to
00:18:35supply, so I'm... is already and it should be ready in
00:18:39short time. Innocent Motors isn't
00:18:43just factory, it's a simple, a bold
00:18:47statement that Africa can build,
00:18:50innovate and compete with over
00:18:5310,000 vehicles on African roads and counting.
00:18:57Innocent Motors is now the pride the
00:19:01continent. IVM is proving that Nigeria
00:19:04doesn't have to rely soly on imports. It's not just about
00:19:08cars, it's about sovereignty, jobs and a
00:19:12future where we export and not just
00:19:15consumed, from tackling unemployment to giving
00:19:19Nigeria seat at the table in the global auto
00:19:23industry, innocent Motors isn't just building
00:19:27vehicles, it's building vision, and as the wheels of
00:19:31progress turn, the road ahead looks
00:19:34promising.
00:19:38As Nigeria looks to diversify its economy and embrace
00:19:42home grown innovation, companies like
00:19:45Innocent the country into a new
00:19:49era, one vehicle a time, from the
00:19:52streets of Newi to the highways of
00:19:56Africa, chief Innocent Chukuma's
