The plant, a partnership between the Enugu State Government and Stallion MG Automobiles Ltd, will begin by assembling 2,000 hybrid sedans with a future roadmap to expand into bus production.
The initiative is poised to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, empower local talent, and create a hub for technology transfer and skills development.
Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, Governor Mbah described the project as a catalyst for inclusive economic growth, environmental sustainability, and youth employment through initiatives such as a clean energy taxi scheme.
“This plant will not only produce vehicles but also serve as a training ground for future engineers, and support our goals of becoming the automotive hub of Southeast Nigeria and West Africa,” the governor stated.
Commissioners present praised the alignment with the state’s climate action plan, while Stallion Group MD, Mr. Mahesh Vaswani, highlighted the collaboration as a reflection of shared innovation and a boost to Nigeria’s auto sector in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The local government chairman, Hon. Okechukwu Edeh, and host community leaders welcomed the development, promising continuous support and protection of the infrastructure.
