Chairman/CEO Innoson Group of Companies Ltd., Innocent Chukwuma, who was visibly elated by the esteemed presence of the dignitaries from both the public and private sectors, said their presence speaks volumes of the determination of the Federal Government to protect, support and give prime attention to indigenous efforts in industrialisation.

“It is gratifying to note that your presence in this factory is not only encouraging but would grant us the impetus to continue with further development in our expansion programme.

“I make bold to say that industrialisation of the country, through deliberate policies of government is the key to economic growth.

“No other sector can stimulate growth the way industries can do. That is why the government of developed nations place a high premium on industrial development, which is the veritable engine of growth in any economy.

“We have come this far as a result of the various incentives, policies and concessions deliberately put up by the Federal Government, especially in the present regime of President Mohammadu Buhari.

“We, therefore, own our gratitude and appreciation to the federal government of Nigeria.”

Chukwuma thanked all for their spirit of patriotism and sacrifice, in finding time to attend this commissioning event, in person.
