(NASENI) has unveiled the first motorcycle produced in Nigeria,
designed and manufactured by the National Engineering Design and
Development Institute (Nnewi), a subsidiary of NASENI.
The 80C engine motorcycle was launched in Anambra state today. The
agency is now asking the government to ban the importation of
motorcycles, promising that with financial assistance, they can
produce better motorcyles.
The Vice Chairman of NASENI, Dr.Mohammed Haruna, said:
"About 20 million Nigerians today rely on motorcycles as a means of
transport and many unemployed youths and men support their families or
earn a living from running motorcycle as a commercial venture. Imagine
the large number of jobs that will be created if only Nigeria could
close her borders against the importation of motorcycles and allow
entrepreneurs to invest in the manufacturing of the parts including
production of the motorcycle locally.
