Yes. Using weight or monetary valuation, about 32% of our vehicle parts are sourced in Nigeria.
We are working to improve this percentage significantly. Having our own flat steel in Nigeria suitable for automotive manufacturing would increase that value to around 75%.

currently gets over 30% of it’s parts from Nigerian manufacturers and is working towards getting it to over 60% , especially the body cast and chassis . This is how the automotive sector grows , when you have local OEM producers who also make your costs lower . 👏🏽👏🏽
