KIA to Roll-out made-in-Nigeria Cars in September

KIA Motors Corporation, the Korean manufacturers of KIA automobiles, has announced plans to roll-out in September, the first set of made-in-Nigeria KIA vehicles from its state-of-the-art plant in Lagos.

The automaker’s Africa and Middle East Manager, Mr. Homer Kim, disclosed this to newsmen, at a ceremony to inaugurate KIA ultramodern showroom in Lagos.

KIA’s decision to establish a local plant in Nigeria followed Federal Government’s proclamation of a modified National Automotive Policy that seeks to revolutionise Nigeria automotive industry and steadily discourage importation of fully built-up vehicles.
