Mbisiogu said the location of Innosson Vehicle Manufacturers factory in Nigeria has helped in reducing the importation of automobiles. This has, in turn, greatly reduced capital flight from the country.
He said the location of the factory in south has also helped in reducing unemployment among the teeming youths, as the youths have been gainfully engaged and therefore have no time to indulge in social vices. Chicason
Mbisiogu described Chief Chukwuma as a role model worthy of emulation, while confessing that the industrialist had helped him to mould a stronger front in his endeavour as manufacturer of ceiling, PVC, roofing sheets and plumbing pipes in Imo State.
He called on the government to provide a conducive environment for industries to thrive.
He also made a case for the provision of steady power supply, security and incentives for industrialists in the country. Chicason
In his response, Chukwuma expressed gratitude to Mbisiogu for visiting his factory.
He advised Mbisiogu to pursue the production of quality goods, as according to him, only quality products would make Nigeria’s industries competitive.
