It is better for change than continued suffering, I say, how many people have driven those cars. They can't even produce 2 full car a day not to talk of satisfying 170million Nigerians demand. Let's us not deceive ourselves. Until power is stable in Nigeria, cost of production will be high and you will get the stuffs very expensive. Imagine DSTV is cheap in south Africa than Nigeria.

free2ryhme: Many of these politicians do not know what they are saying. I am truly disappointed in APC because of certain reasons. They claim to be CHANGE. I do not see the change even after recruiting the Obama campaign organisers. If the Vice President candidate of APC cannot truly communicate the economic changes they are coming on board to implement then there is a problem because the VP is the chairman of the economic committee meeting. Stopping the importation of tomatoes and cassava and reducing import tariffs of second hand cars in order to encourage importation of cars are conflicting economic policies. Is he just saying all these to sway votes? I also disagree with him on the free lunch for all public schools - that is not feasible and if feasible too expensive for our economy and also it does not improve on the quality of education except the aim is to increase the number of almajiris rushing down in the afternoons to public school for a slice of the cake. The aim here should be improving the quality of education not food. |

ilugunboy: You gets the 'trust' of what Osinbajo is saying. The simplistic point is that "what is worth doing is worth doing well". You cannot starve Nigerians of affordable vehicles, when doing such creates another set of problems altogether, all for the sake of protecting "local industries" that cannot operate and produce optimally. It is for similarly reasons we import refined crude in the form of petrol. This is a measure that keeps Nigeria economically functional till Nigerian refineries can produce enough to satisfy domestic reply. It is for the government to do its job so that our refineries can work optimally as soon as possible same as government must produce the conducive environment and conditions that will facilitate the growth of a local vehicle industry instead of just punishing Nigerians with high tariffs while doing little to deliver this conducive environment. If posters put sentiments aside they will see that Osinbajo is not advocating a measure that will harm local car production. He is merely saying that for now, and while efforts is made to improve other important factor which will enable the delivery of a high quality local car manufacturing sector, Nigerians should not pay a punitive price, in the form of high duty, for car import. In most Nations of the world, leaders must strike a balance between protecting local industry and depriving citizens quality/freedom of choice whcih helps them get the best out of the work/productivity and leisure equation. It is patently wrong to try and force Nigerians to patronise made in Nigeria vehicles if those vehicles cannot meritoriously compete with the best available !!! Osinbajo makes the distinct point that local vehicle production cannot be encouraged to the detriment of giving Nigerians greater choices , through importation, when some of the factors that prevents the local production of high quality cars are still glaringly missing. It is clear Osinbajo takes a broad and long-term view to local production, not local assembly, of cars because that is the only way to look at things if we want uncompromising quality that will make 'Nigerian cars' as good as any other. He argues that while a holistic environment is being created to achieve this local production of high quality cars Nigerians should still have the option of importing cars at reasonable costs. This is a perfectly reasonable solution that takes into consideration the need to try and have balances which suit all sides rather than deploy drastic and ill-thought out ideas that benefit no side at all. The Government cannot just say it wants to help the development of local production of cars using punitive tariffs while major problems impeding the growth of the local car industry are not addressed adequately eg power supply. On this thread, many are taking the view that it must be one (import) or the other (local production) while Osinbajo , correctly in my opinion, is of the view this does not have to be the case. A balance can be achieved, till we reach our target, which allows as many Nigerians as possible to be on the road. He said, “We do not agree that there should be high tariffs on imported cars whether new or old ones because Nigeria is not producing cars for now. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Boss13: There should be free lunch for all public primary shool pupils. Infact, it's a shame we aren't doing such as at now except Osun state I know of that feeds her pupils. And please don't tell me it's expensive, it's not for a country like hers expecially if all holes of thievery are blocked. Osun does this and hasn't gone bankrupt. |

Re: APC Will Slash Tariffs On Imported Cars -osinbajo by Immune1(m): 2:18pm On Feb 12, 2015 |
Gbawe: You cant run before learning to crawl; the difference between full scale manufacturing and vehicle assembly we have today is a more complex supply chain and OEM local presence. I never really believed in the feasibility of the new auto-policy until i took out time to attend forums where officials of NAC further educated us on certain aspects of the policy as a whole. Heard of RMB?Wesbank is their subsidiary and they will roll out specialized loans/financing for customers willing to buy from our local manufacturers. And for your information 70% of the 33manufacturers already on ground are commercial/Utility vehicle producers; this means passenger vehicles are not the primary targets for the first phase of the policy implementation. I am an business analyst in the automotive industry and i can assure you that the policy is very feasible if all the other pieces of the puzzle are fixed; thats the more reason Nigeria needs continuity and a stable political ambience. 3 Likes |

Boss13: I will only comment on the feeding aspect for now. The feeding programme is being implemented in the State of Osun and to God be the glory,it has been a great success,for the Govt,Parents and the farmers. Look at this,there has been empowerment of the citizenry in the aspect of poultry in the state to supply eggs and cattle dealers to supply meat.While the parents are happy for feeding their wards,the food vendors are also happy by smiling to the bank. All this is still in the same system 1 Like |

JackDaniels1: In an ideal environment void of the TINIBU nepotism/favoritism, such distribution can truly favour the masses; if you dig further am sure you will find out that it is the same rich political affiliates of the governor that will get the contract to supply these meals. If you want to bring up the argument of more supply by the agro-traders; i can assure you that those kids will some how eat.......the say 30000kids fed are still part of the society whether or not government does the feeding. |
