₦2.5 Billion Debt: Innoson Replies Imo Government

Innoson Vehicles had filed a lawsuit against the Imo government over ₦2.54 billion debt claims. Cornel Osigwe, head, corporate communications and affairs, Innoson Vehicles, said this in a statement on Monday, August 01, 2022.

The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to a statement purportedly released by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon. Declan Emelumba on behalf of the Imo State Government,” the statement reads.

 
“The said statement was unscrupulously written to water down the facts and substance stated in our earlier statement. We do not wish to join words with Imo State Government as we now have it on good authority that it has engaged its e-dogs to discredit our brand in the media space.

“The matter is now before the courts and we have always believed in the integrity of the judiciary to do the right thing when facts are stated.”

On setting up a maintenance and mobile workshop in Owerri, Innoson said there was never such a contract in the deal.

“It is not correct that Innoson Vehicles agreed with the Imo State Government that Innoson Vehicles will set up a Service Centre in Imo State,” the statement added.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Innoson Vehicles have various vehicle servicing partners in Imo State where Innoson Vehicles are maintained and serviced. More interestingly, Innoson Vehicles has its unique mobile workshop that provides maintenance and vehicle servicing to its clients.

 
“To the best of our knowledge, Innoson Vehicles has always maintained and serviced the vehicles supplied to the Imo State Government up to the stage the company decided to disengage its maintenance and servicing as a result of non-payment of servicing parts used, which have risen to above ₦7 million.

“This particular debt, among others, is what Innoson Vehicles has detailed to recover from the law court. Innoson Vehicles is not a charitable organisation but a business concern that needs money to stay in business.

“The statement on servicing of debt in all its entirety is false. Note especially that the mode of transaction Innoson Vehicles did with Imo State Government is not only peculiar with the state, but Innoson Vehicles have also used a similar model to many of its clients, including state governments.

“We have some clients who couldn’t pay at once but entered a payment plan with the company even up to a 12-month plan. Since the vehicles were delivered in April 2021, the state government hasn’t paid one naira.”

 
Innoson Vehicles had filed a lawsuit against the Imo government over ₦2.54 billion debt claims.

What Imo State said: But the Imo government said the management of Innoson Vehicles breached the contractual agreement regarding the sale and maintenance of the vehicles.
