About 7,000 workers are expected to benefit from a technology
transfer initiative between Innoson motors and a Chinese group, Shandong
Broadcasting and Television.
The group said that the initiative
is under its expansion of investment into the media and Information
Communication Technology sectors.
Chairman of Innoson Group, Dr.
Chukwuma Innocent, said in Abuja recently after a meeting with the
Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, that the
partnership will be in the area of broadcasting, direct home TV,
satellite broadcasting, e-policing and ICT.
He further informed
that his vehicle production factory is working towards getting a partner
for engine manufacturing in Nigeria once the patronage level reaches a
desirable level.
“We
can establish the engine factory in Nigeria when we get a measure of
patronage,” he said.Earlier at the meeting, the Minister eulogised
Innoson for working to ensure that the Nigerian economy remained strong.
“We
are happy you have this partnership with China and the ministry is
ready to support it. Innoson is helping in our economic transition to
ensure we can produce what we use in Nigeria,” he said.
To the
Chinese team led by Deputy Minister and Chairman of Shandong
Broadcasting and Television, Liu Baoju, Onu expressed happiness that
there would be technology transfer, which he said would further
strengthen economic relations between both countries.
