The Federal Government has said that the new policy in the automotive industry is expected to generate about 700, 000 direct and indirect jobs and boost both petrochemical and tyre sector of the nation’s economy.

Director-General, Nigerian Automotive Council, NAC, Aminu Jalal, disclosed this yesterday at the opening ceremony of the 16th edition of Abuja Motor fair, organised by BKG Exhibitions Limited.

The NAC boss, who was represented by the Deputy Director, Administrations, Alhaji R.B. Salau, said that the new policy would also salvage the honour and tastes of Nigerians and bring out the component of the new national industrial revolution plan.

This is even as Vice-President Namadi Sambo reiterated that to achieve the full potential of the new National Automotive Development Plan, NAIDP, all stakeholders in the automotive industry must support and key in to the project.

Represented by the Minister of State, FCT, Mrs. Olajumoke Akinjide, Sambo said that government would promote the manufacturing of automobiles in the country.

He expressed optimism that made-in-Nigeria cars would soon jostle for space in motor fairs around the world.

The vice-president stressed that with tenacity of the organisers of the annual fair, Nigeria would become a gateway to the African auto market.

“The commitment of this administration in the promotion of manufacturing and assemblage of automobiles as a strategy of launching Nigeria into the class of car manufacturing nations is without doubt.

“The necessity to move Nigeria from an automobile consumer nation to producers cannot be over emphasised. We hope that very soon made-in-Nigeria cars will jostle for space in motor fairs both in Nigeria and globally, along with the Toyotas, the Hondas, and Peugeots of this world,” sambo said.

The FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed, urged the automobile dealers in the country to take advantage of the large parcel of land earmarked in Tunga-Maje, near Zuba by the FCT administration for automotive market.

According to the minister, the land will provide the benefits of localisation of the industry, build synergy and spin-off the necessary multiplier effects.

“This is envisioned to stem the chaos in the sales of automobiles, especially of the second-hand type in every nook and cranny of the city.”

Chairman of BKG Exhibitions, Mr. Ifeanyi Agwu, called for a review of the new auto policy, saying it threw up new challenges which stakeholders did not envisage. He said a thorough review of the policy would ensure that many players would remain viable in the industry.

Good point you made, btw I pm'ed you.

FG too dey lie

...btw is it because of this paper policy dey wan ban okada. Bunch of lunatics

How did they arrive at 700,000. What research was done to arrive at 700,000? In what year will the 700k job be acheived? Did they consider the clearing agents and road side panel who are self employed but will now need to work under stallion ? Will you classify that as part of the new job? What the auto policy will do is change what is the wealth of many men into the wealth of one man.

I understand the policy will create jobs, but 700k jobs (direct and indirect) seem very unrealistic. Perhaps they meant 70,000 jobs.

Hogwash! Reeling out statistics is the favourite pastime of successive governments in Nigeria. How they arrive at this statistics without conducting any study or verifiable data is puzzling.
