Should Nigeria not have a car designed and made in Nigeria by Nigerians for NIGERIANS by now? Why can't the government encourage such a venture instead of encouraging importation of cars or assembly lines only!!

Nigeria might have to learn to crawl again in that sector, before they start worrying about flying.
I dont even think we have Nigerian assembled car, not to talk of Nigerian made car.
If a Nigerian made car hit the market today, would you buy it??

Well to start with I think all government cars should be Nigerian made and all government officials including governors and the President with his ministers should use an official car that is Nigerian made. This will ensure that the market is there for the new brand in the country and also the quality will be encouraged as politicians will be using them.

If the price is reasonable compared to the imported brands then this will encourage us all to use the same. Imported cars can be taxed at a higher rate to encourage us to buy Nigerian.
