Chery Automobile Co., Ltd is proposing to set up an assembly plant in Nigera to assemble up to 10,000 vehicles annually, according to auto website Gasgoo.com.

The investment plan will benefit the Cross River State Government in creating skilled and semi-skilled jobs. Chery is also planning to set up auto training centers in this region.

If plans for the plant are approved, it would be China's first assembly plant in Nigeria.

Chery entered Nigeria’s auto market in 2006, with its Tiggo SUV, QQ compact car, Fulwin and Eastar.
