The GAC Assembly Plant, situated in Lagos, Nigeria, represents a significant milestone in the automotive industry within the region. Established through a partnership between Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd (GAC) and the Lagos State Government, the plant is a testament to Nigeria’s growing industrial capabilities and its commitment to advancing the local economy.  Managed by Ibile Holdings, the investment arm of Lagos State, the GAC Assembly Plant is strategically located to serve both the domestic market and the broader West African region. The plant’s establishment is in line with the Lagos State Government’s vision to industrialize the state, create jobs, and promote technological transfer within the automotive sector.

The facility is designed to produce a range of vehicles tailored to meet the needs of the Nigerian market, with a focus on quality, durability, and affordability. By assembling vehicles locally, the plant significantly reduces the cost of cars, making them more accessible to the average Nigerian while also fostering local manufacturing and reducing dependency on imports.

IBILE Holdings plays a crucial role in facilitating this partnership, ensuring that the project aligns with the state’s economic goals and contributes to its long-term development strategy. The success of the GAC Assembly Plant is seen as a model for future industrial projects in Lagos and beyond.
