BACKGROUND

 

Whiz Oil Limited was incorporated on 4th August, 1986 with Registration Number (RC: 87588). The company’s address in 4, Pokobros Industrial Avebue, Off Atani Road, Onitsha, Anambra, Nigeria. The company is a big company where engine oils of different kind are produced.

 

WHIZ OIL LIMITED, incorporated in 1986. The company is the sole marketer and representative of WHIZ Automotive Products.  WHIZ Oil Limited is also the sole agent of WHIZ Automobile Inc. (Malco) Barberton, Ohio, U.S.A. and Enviro Systems Inc. Texas, USA. The Company has a manufacturing interest hence her appointment to represent her sister Company, WHIZ Products (W.A) Limited and Enviro Systems Inc. USA at all levels and obligated to market the local products, other subsidiary and foreign products of other USA affiliate which include  Internationally-certified, High-quality Automobile care products.

 

 

The chairman, Chief (Dr.) Paul Amanchukwu  Okonkwor's non-relentless attitude towards hard work is what metamorphosed in the conglomerate known as Pokobros Group [W.A] Limited which is the subsidiary company of Whiz Oil Limited. The parent company housing over twenty-two (22) viable subsidiary companies charged with the responsibility of active ergonomics in the Nigerian economy. In 1961, their amiable Chairman, Chief Paul Okonkwo, as a young person who believed in industry proved his mettle beyond imagination by introducing various vehicle parts and accessories into the Nigerian automobile sector; he also introduced Austin Fan Blades amongst others, he had the penchant for real-time business. A goal-getter, in 1982 Chief Okonkwo set to establish a food industry with negotiation between Simon Foods of England and his good self. This dream materialized in 1985 with the commissioning of POKOBROS FOODS & CHEMICAL IND. LTD concerned with the conversion of rice to rice flour. It is obvious that business seemed good under his managerial experience and expertise then he decided to crown his automobile care products ambition. Owing to his wealth of experience in automobile dated back before the war he incorporated the most adorned WHIZ OIL LIMITED. When the company started in 1965 it was like a crawling baby, but determination and knack for hard-work have seen us grow each day. The company has over the years developed high quality products in these areas and its name has become synonymous with quality.

 

Conclusion:  Based on our visit, available facilities sighted coupled with brief discussion held with the General Manager, we are of the opinion that the company appears to be credit worthy

INDUSTRIAL OVERVIEW/ OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

 

Subject is operating in an industry with very great potentials. This sector in Nigeria has a lot to explore when it comes to the need for expansion, improvement of product quality, work force development and general technical expertise. Mainly, private individuals dominate this sector. Despite the huge capital required for setting up this investment, it has grown in its leaps and bounds over the decades in the nation, although, the efforts of the Federal Government cannot be ruled out. The government has put in place different policies that support private individuals to secure loans/ mortgages from banks and other financial institutions. However, to record a groundbreaking in this sector, foreign investors are inevitable.

 

This sector of the economy has great potentials for intending investors.
