From designing sleek sports cars to launching a full-scale manufacturing operation, this is the raw, unfiltered journey of turning passion into a thriving car empire.
We explore how he’s balancing creativity with profitability, building eco-conscious vehicles, training local artisans, and bridging critical skill gaps in Nigeria's auto space. He also shares bold plans for a renewable-energy-powered bus factory and breaks down the government's CKD incentives for local assembly.
