While we still have to wait for the official commissioning of the ultra-modern auto assembly plant on November 10th to see the auto assembly line, pictures shared in a tweet by Ovie Ali Onovwo-Omasoro, show the exterior part of two buildings, which will likely house a showroom as well as the ultra-modern plant.
