The Lagos State government has formally sealed a Joint Venture Agreement with CIG Motors Limited for the establishment of a vehicle assembly plant in the state.<\/p>\n

Establishment of the vehicle assembly plant in Lagos was part of the bilateral agreements reached by the state government and Chinese Investors\u2019 Community when the governor visited the Asian country in November, 2019.<\/p>\n

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu<\/a> said the establishment of the plant was in furtherance of his administration\u2019s economic growth blueprint, stressing that the Joint Venture Agreement would revive industrialisation, drive up skilled youth employment, and create wealth, boost tourism, and encourage technology sharing, adaptation, and advancement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we formally sign the Joint Venture Agreement for the establishment of Motor Assembly Plant, Lagosians should expect a roll-out of vehicles from this plant within the next 18 months,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI urge other stakeholders and private investors to collaborate with us to sustain the scheme. We have the political and administrative will to ensure business survives in Lagos.\u201d<\/p>\n

The governor also unveiled a new e-hailing taxi scheme, \u2018Lagos Ride\u2019 with pilot fleet of 1,000 units of brand new Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs).<\/p>\n

IBILE Holdings Limited, a state-owned corporation, will be driving the two investment agreements on behalf of the Lagos State Government.<\/p>\n

Mr Sanwo-Olu said the new ride-hailing taxi was a social intervention programme initiated with an objective to create jobs and economic opportunities for residents of the State.<\/p>\n

He said the \u201cLagos Ride\u201d scheme was in fulfilment of his administration\u2019s desire to give residents a better choice in road transportation by offering a safe, efficient and modern cab model in line with policy thrust of his Government\u2019s T.H.E.M.E.S agenda.<\/p>\n

The governor said the taxi scheme, which is expected to fully take-off in the next six months, had been structured along a profitability model and designed to be self-sustaining for expansion and growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am elated to unveil the Lagos State Taxi Scheme, which is another innovative policy of this administration targeted at making life easier for Lagosians, improving mobility and creating a seamless multi-modal transportation system,\u201d said Mr Sanwo-Olu.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe scheme, which is to be known as \u2018Lagos Ride,\u2019 is in fulfilment of our desire to give Lagos residents better transportation choices. The modern ride-hailing service is one of the State Government\u2019s socio-economic intervention programmes, which will be professionally managed in line with global best practices<\/p>\n

\u201cOur social intervention programmes are tailored towards the eradication of poverty, provision of jobs and other employment opportunities as well as the provision of basic necessities, that make good governance our people\u2019s reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cA major attribute of a modern megacity is a world-class transportation system with inter-connected services and mobility choices for the citizens. The task of bequeathing a safe, efficient, quick, and modern public transportation system is a key thrust of our administration\u2019s development agenda. We are guided by the need for an equitable transportation system with mobility choices for our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the taxi scheme, Mr Sanwo-Olu said the Cooperative Society in the Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment would give operators brand new SUVs for a period of four years, during which they would pay a monthly installment. At the end of the credit tenure, the operators will have the opportunity to fully own the cars.<\/p>\n

The governor said the scheme would offer operators flexible repayment plan and affordable savings for vehicles\u2019 maintenance.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner for Transportation, Frederic Oladehinde, said the e-hailing taxi scheme was initiated, following the approval of IBILE Holding Limited\u2019s proposal in the August 31, 2020 State\u2019s Executive Council meeting.<\/p>\n

He said the Assembly Plant and the taxi scheme would boost socio-economic activities and support the development of ancillary enterprises in transportation sector.<\/p>\n

The Chair of CIG Motors Company Limited, Diana Chen, pledged the full commitment of the automobile firm to the agreement.<\/p>\n

Ms Chen, who is also the Vice Chair of China-Africa Business Council (CABC), disclosed that the automobile firm would sponsor 50 students for a two-year engineering training in a vocational school in China to strengthen its partnership with the Lagos Government.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cMy teams are ready to work with 100 percent effort to build GAC MOTORS in Nigeria in the highest level of a brand. This international Joint Venture Project will soon bloom up in the Chinese business communities both in Nigeria and China.<\/p>\n

\u201cI assure you that we will use this partnership as a best example to introduce and promote a Greater Lagos where greater opportunities abound.\u201d<\/p>\n

The highpoint of the event was the signing of the partnership agreements by the Managing Director of IBILE Holding Limited, Abiodun Amokomowo, and the Vice Chair of CIG Motors Company Limited, Linus Idahosa, in the presence of the Governor, Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat, and Lagos Attorney General, Moyosore Onigbanjo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
