Ooni adds Jet Mover to royal fleet, seeks support for indigenous entrepreneurs

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Wednesday enriched his expansive fleet of royal vehicles with the Jet Mover, a 14-seater bus assembled in Nigeria by Jet Motors Company.

Top officials of the auto assembly company were in Ile-Ife, Osun State, to handover the vehicle at the palace of Ooni. The team was led by Mr Wemimo Osanipin, Chief Executive Officer and Mr Rupani Sanjay, Marketing Director.

The first class monarch, decked in his familiar flowing white regalia and complimentary beads, personally received the new addition to his royal fleet, and expressed joy at the rising capacity of Nigerians to grow the local economy, especially in the mobility sector.

Speaking at the event, Ooni said he had closely followed the progress of Jet Motors Company, and that his decision to purchase a unit of the Jet Mover had been influenced by the positive testimonials trailing the brand.

“I am very impressed by what I have heard of the Jet Mover, especially its unique safety features, comfort and durability. I commend the brilliance and ingenuity of the team at Jet Motors.

“It is investments of this nature that can truly position Nigeria for greatness. I wish to call on government at all levels to create the right incentives for indigenous entrepreneurs to excel and grow the economy for the benefit of all Nigerians,” Ooni said.

Speaking to a forthcoming event at the palace which he didn’t disclose, Ooni added, “I have a ceremony coming up, so I will be needing a customized Jet Mover soon.”

Ooni prayed for the growth and prosperity of Jet Motors Company saying, “Anything you lay your hands on shall prosper. You shall increase in numbers and strength.”

Osanipin, in his response, thanked Ooni for patronizing Jet Motors Company, noting that the organization was totally committed to its passion for excellence, and with focus set on giving Africa the ultimate driving experience.
