This is part of the efforts to promote made in Nigeria products to rescue the economy.Saraki hinted at this on Twitter on Friday, February 12, when he applauded the indigenous car manufacturer’s determination to improve on its services.By accepting positive criticism,it shows @innosonmotors willcontinue to improve.

Economy experts have lauded the move for the patronage on local car manufacturers and assemblies. They say increased focus on made in Nigeria goods, would help relieve the pressure on the Naira.This will in turn drive down exchange rates.
