Indigenous Vehicle Manufacturing Company, ANAMMCO has pledged to support the Governor Peter Mbah-led administration’s drive to transform the transportation sector in the state.

Chief of Operations of ANAMMCO Motors, Benneth Ejindu, made the pledge yesterday, at the formal handover of two new Pick-up trucks remanufactured by the company to the Enugu State Ministry of Transport.

The Enugu State Government had engaged the company to remanufacture 50 decommissioned city buses from the defunct Coal City Shuttle Service to argument the fleet of CNG buses acquired and recently commissioned by governor Mbah.

In his address, Ejindu said the buses, which initially arrived at ANAMMCO in scrap condition, were restored to state-of-the-art operational standards, adding that the restoration was carried out in collaboration with China’s Guangxi Yuchai Machinery Co., Ltd.

“The process further showcases ANAMMCO’s technical capacity and commitment to supporting Enugu State’s transportation development,” he said. “The trucks will aid in terminal inspections and bus operations monitoring.”

In his reaction, the State Commissioner for Transport, Dr. Obi Ozor, assured the ANAMMCO Management of a long-term partnership and an enabling environment for transport business to thrive in the state.

Ozor, represented by the Special Adviser to Governor on Transport, Iphie Ugonabo, noted that governor Mbah’s strategic integration of ANAMMCO into the new Enugu transport management system reflects his policy direction of engaging indigenous firms in delivering projects that will benefit the people of Enugu State.
