The capacity of Nigeria’s local assembly has received a boost with the emergence of Nord Automobiles Limited Assembly to roll out wholly-owned Nigerian brands of cars.
The Nord assembly plant is located on a 2,100 square metres of land space in Sangotedo in Lagos, while another one recently acquired and occupying 3,400 square metres of land at Epe is currently undergoing construction for the assembly complex in readiness to meet the growing demand in the automotive market.

Chairman and Chief Executive of Nord Automobiles Limited, Oluwatobi Ajayi, told newsmen in Lagos that despite the huge capital involved in setting up an assembly plant, the firm was committed to solving the mobility challenge of both low and middle income earners.
The models to be churned out from the plant include Nord Tank Pick-up, Max Pick-up, Flit bus, Aso truck, Lasgi big bus, A3 sedan, A5 SUV, Yarn family/business shuttle, Tripper bus, Bolt bus, Ben SUV, Urban sedan among many others that are in the pipeline.
Ajayi stated that Nord is a brand that takes the needs of the Nigerian environment into consideration during the assembly of the vehicles in order to support the economy.
According to him, all the vehicles being offered are durable and elegant, and yet competitively priced.
“They have low total cost of ownership compared to the competition.
“That is why we are confident that the Nord vehicles would soon be a household name in Nigeria,” he said.
