Onu had driven into the venue of the Techno 2017 on Monday in a car with wooden body and reportedly coupled together by one Ahmed Aliyu, africamv.com has reported.
The wooden-body car is named Amara.
Aliyu, who hails from Niger State, said he rode the car from Bida, Niger State, to Abuja; claiming to have used 23 litres of fuel.
Aliyu explained that the car uses motorcycle engine, and that apart from the wheel, engine and the tyres, every other material used in building the car was sourced locally.
Sometime last year, Onu had said that the absence of research and development had prevented Nigeria from competing with auto companies from around the world.
He charged the Peugeot Automobile Nigeria and other local auto-assembling companies to do their best to make Made-in-Nigeria car a reality.

Nigeria is bouncing back to it's position to stand as the father of Africa
ReplyDeleteHaha!! Which kind of father of Africa is this? May God bless my country, Nigeria. This is a good start and further improvements have to take place. I will be scared to drive or use this car because of safety reasons. It's scary to know that the body of the car is made of wooden material. The car uses gas to run its engine. A minor accident can become complicated within seconds because woods are easier to catch fire than metals. Please let's think about this and perhaps a better improvement will take over woods.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the first made-in-Nigeria-car. You people don't have a sense of history. What about Z2000?
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah...........lol.......lwkmd.
ReplyDeleteShame on you all, even in this 21st century look at what one is proud of making.
Fool! That's how you disdained China phones 5 years ago but they've now improved so much to contest favourably with any known brand. So let's start from somewhere, it's never too late
DeleteHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah........lol......lwkmd again.
DeleteSee who dey call me fool, China has semiconductor industries more than 20years ago, which one does your country have? China has steel manufacturing plants not one oh, the one you have, is it functional?
China has research institutes, as many as possible,how many do you have?
Tell me if this is how they started? Even the first ever car was not made with wood, the person that built that car is just an artisan who lacks basics scientific principles.
Guy park well.
Motorcycle engine made in Nigeria? If not then it's not made in Nigeria rather assemble in Nigeria
ReplyDeleteFunny.
ReplyDeleteBut let's appreciate him at least
This is a mockery of modern development
ReplyDeleteYour own is your own. The guy is not a Germany-trained automobile engineer and yet could achieve this. With support and mentoring, he could do better. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteAny one who doesn't like it should do a better one for us. Based on logistics
