Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State remains steadfast in his commitment to fulfilling his campaign pledges, notably his dedication to promoting and supporting locally-made products. True to his word, Governor Soludo has opted to utilize a homegrown solution for his official transportation needs, choosing to ride in an Innoson IVM G80 SUV and adorning himself in Akwete, a locally-made fabric.
This decision is in alignment with one of Governor Soludo’s key campaign promises – to prioritize the patronage of Made-in-Nigeria goods as a means of bolstering indigenous brands and industries. Eschewing foreign-made luxury vehicles, Governor Soludo has embraced the locally-built Innoson IVM G80 SUV as his official mode of transportation, showcasing his unwavering commitment to supporting Nigerian manufacturing.
Two years into his tenure, Governor Soludo’s dedication to his campaign pledges remains evident. His recent public appearances dressed in Akwete serve as a testament to his support for locally-produced fabrics, while his choice of the Innoson IVM G80 SUV underscores his resolve to promote homegrown automotive manufacturing.
During his inaugural address, Governor Soludo articulated his administration’s policy of prioritizing products and services made within Anambra State, unless alternatives are not available locally. This commitment extends to supporting Nigerian-made goods beyond the borders of Anambra, reinforcing a broader agenda of economic self-sufficiency and cultural revitalization.
Governor Soludo’s advocacy for locally-made brands has garnered attention beyond Anambra State, inspiring other regional leaders to follow suit. Governor Alex Otti of Abia State recently followed Governor Soludo’s lead by acquiring an IVM G80 SUV as his official vehicle, while the majority of vehicles utilized by the Abia State Government were procured from Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing.
Governor Soludo’s unwavering support for locally-made goods serves as a beacon for sustainable economic development and cultural preservation, setting a powerful example for leaders across Nigeria and beyond.
