A few days after the news that the first car made in Africa was manufactured by a Nigerian, the late Dr Izuogu, information has come out to dispute the claim stating that Egypt was, in fact, the first African country to manufacture a locally made car in Africa.
The name of the car is said to be Ramses Gamilla. The Egyptian company El Nasr Automotive Manufacturing Company formed the production company in 1960.
Also, AfricaFactsZone notes that the company’s best-selling model was the 128 GLS car.
Here are some of the social media reactions concerning the post:
@TheWabbajack96 said: “I remember my dad had the 128 and he was sad when he decided to sell it to by a new car. He had it for 20 years and sold it in 2006/2007 but he kept one of the keys to remember it.”
@BahatiAllyLane commented: “There’s need to invest in science in Africa!Africa is sleeping a dozing lion which needs to get up and staright to work!”
