Dangote Sinotruk West Africa opened a fully knocked down CKD truck assembly plant in Lagos on Sunday.
Senate president Godswill Akpabio and Lagos governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu were present at the inauguration.
Sanwo-Olu claimed in a statement published on X that the Ikeja plant, which can build 10,000 trucks a year, can employ roughly 3,000 people in Nigeria.
Sanwo-Olu said,
“Today, I joined the President of the Senate, Hon. Godswill Akpabio for the commissioning of the CKD plant at Dangote Sinotruk West Africa Limited in Ikeja.”
“With the capacity to assemble and produce 10,000 trucks annually, Dangote Sinotruk West Africa is set to create about 3,000 jobs across Nigeria.
“Congrats to Alhaji Aliko Dangote for his remarkable efforts towards industrialisation in Nigeria and Africa.”
