Dangote Bets on Nigerian Vehicle Production: Reaffirms Commitment to Localizing Sinotruk Vehicles
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Chairman of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has reaffirmed the commitment of one of his companies, Dangote Sinotruk West Africa Ltd (DSWAL), to further enhance the level of localization in its vehicles.

He said this will be possible when Ajaokuta Steel Company becomes operational.Alhaji Dangote spoke on Sunday at the commissioning ceremony of DSWAL’s Complete Knocked Down (CKD) plant at Oba Akran Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos.The commissioning was carried out by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, Vice President of the Senate, Jibril Barau, and senators, among others.Dangote said, “The investment in the truck assembly plant is part of our backward integration to add value and reduce imports. I am glad, yesterday, Your Excellency when you talked about Ajaokuta Steel in your speech, and I believe the completion of the Ajaokuta Steel project will give a fillip to our attempt to increase local content in the assembly in our lines.

“We have welding and painting shops to fabricate and paint trucks and trailers of different types so as to enhance local content of CKD operations of commercial vehicles manufacturing in Nigeria.”In the next 12 months, we will begin to fabricate different types of trailers and tippers in our plant to increase value addition of up to 40 to 60 percent with the goal to achieve domestic self-sufficiency and serve the West Africa regional market.

“He went on, stating, “As you are aware, Dangote also owns majority shares of Peugeot Automobile of Nigeria in Kaduna where we assemble small vehicles. We (DSWAL) are a joint venture company with a total investment of 100 million dollars formed for the truck assembly which is owned 60 percent by Dangote Industries, 30 percent by Sinotruck China, and five percent by Andas.

“I am sure we are going to participate in the new production of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) which this government is driving.”But, we in Dangote, are actually committed to buying 10,000 of the CNG trucks of which 1,500 are arriving this June/July. Already, about 500 are at the port. So this company has the installed capacity to assemble and produce 10,000 trucks annually and create about 3,000 jobs across Nigeria.”The Senate President commended Dangote Group’s investments in Lagos, other areas in the country and outside Nigeria.
