Nigeria will start exporting cars soon — Jonathan


NissanJona
President Goodluck Jonathan has said that Nigeria will become an automobile exporting nation very soon, noting that his administration is committed to the National Automobile Policy. He made the statement on his facebook page on Tuesday.


The President stated that, “when this administration launched the new National Automobile policy, I promised Nigerians that our nation will ultimately become a hub for the automobile industry. Today (Tuesday), this promise has been fulfilled several times over as Hyundai Motors joins Kia, Nisan and Innoson Motors as automobile manufacturers who produce cars in Nigeria. This is only the beginning. This policy will be seen to its logical conclusion of making Nigeria an automobile exporting nation after our domestic demands are met in the same manner as we did with our cement sub sector,” he said.

The trust of the National Automotive Policy is to ensure the survival, growth and development of the Nigerian automotive industry using local human and material resources.  This is with a view to enhancing the industry’s contribution to the national economy in the areas employment generation, technology acquisition, effective utilisation of local raw materials and resources and in the transportation of people and goods.

  3. Export cars indeed!!!
    1. National Automobile Policy, without a concurrent and visible power policy and technology policy is a half baked policy.
    2. Is the focus of the policy merely to make Nigeria an exporter of automobile, and not to empower Nigerians to be buyers of brand new automobiles? What is the percentage of Nigerians who can afford to buy cars, not to talk of brand new cars. Should Nigeria produce cars for citizens of other countries when Nigerians themselves too impoverished to buy one?
    3. How many of these made-in-Nigeria vehicle are in the President's fleet?
    4. If the president and his ministers don't ride in Kia and Innoson vehicles, then what manner of National Automobile Policy are we talking about that the president can't lead by example.
    I dey laugh oh!!!
