First Made In Nigeria Sport Car Unveils, Manufactured By Jerry Mallo

25-Year-Old, Jerry Mallo Manufactures and Unveils the Nigeria’s First ‘Carbon Fibre’ Sports Car.

Jerry Isaac Mallo has made a huge

statement with the various machines he

fabricated.

His latest project is what some have termed

Nigeria’s first Carbon Fibre sports car.

The Fabrication Engineer and CEO of Bennie

Technologies LTD, on Thursday, launched his

Nigerian made sports car which is named the

Bennie Purrie.

At the launch which was held at Transcorp

Hilton in Abuja, Mallo noted that the sports car

is the first of many more innovative products he

will be creating.

Jerry Mallo who was born in Jos, Plateau State,

stated that he was inspired to create the sports

car because Nigeria and Africa is a very big

market for luxury vehicles.

“In Europe, we learnt that making the car is just

half of the challenge, and selling it is the other

half; Africa is usually is the target place to sell

these vehicles, so I feel there’s a big market for

it here,” Mallo stated.

He also noted that the continent has all the

required resources and raw materials used in

manufacturing the products, sadly, the vehicles

are rarely made in Africa, hence, the reason he

thought to fill the void.

Speaking further on the reason he delved into

creating such a luxurious vehicle, Mallo said

there are a lot of hand-skilled individuals in

Nigeria who are wasting away because the

nation tends to favours the theoretical more

than the practical.

He said he was challenged and had to do

something “practically inclined” which would

serve as a platform for other skilled persons to

put their hands together and come up with

beautiful products.

Mallo said Plateau State government under

Simon Lalong has been very supportive,

stressing that the governor was the chief

unveiler of his newest invention.

He also stated that the government has been

key to his success, stressing that the state has

helped with publicity for his engineering firm.

According to him, it was the Plateau State

government that organised the unveiling of

Bennie Purrie.
