Today, we marked a momentous occasion at the completion ceremony of the GAC Car Assembly Plant in Lagos.

The partnership between Lagos State and CIG Motors represents a pivotal step towards greater industrialization, more jobs, and technical training for our people. This partnership, born in the challenging days of the pandemic, has flourished, not only giving birth to the GAC Motor Nigeria CKD factory but also aiding the growth and expansion of our LAGRIDE project.

These initiatives signify our commitment to progress, innovation, and the betterment of Lagos State.

The opening of this Vehicle Assembly Plant is a glowing emblem of our State’s openness to investments that foster job creation, skill development, wealth creation, and entrepreneurial opportunities. The ripple effect of this investment extends far beyond the automotive sector.

It has ushered in a new dawn of employment, providing our industrious youths with well-deserved jobs, thereby significantly reducing unemployment in Lagos.

With the GAC Assembly Plant in operation, we are poised to create more jobs and bolster technical skills among our workforce. This, in turn, contributes to the growth of our IGR, ensuring a more prosperous future for Lagos State. Together, we are giving rise to a brighter Lagos.
