The Ibom automobile assembly plant is promoted by Mimshac-Merkavin, an Israeli firm, will come on stream by the end of the year when all the production lines would have been installed.

The plant is expected to roll out commercial vehicles for use in the country.

The ground-breaking of the factory was carried out about two years ago but the commencement of activities was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic and fluctuation in the exchange rate which affected shipment of machines and equipment.
