This is like telling Innosson to go to hell. Innosson products are less affordable. But can we blame him ? I think NO. The cost of producing raw materials in Nigeria is not cheap not only because of limited technological know-how but because we are solving problems upwards to the ground instead of the other way round. What do I mean? If there are enough automotive spare parts production industries in Nigeria despite our abundance of iron family (lead and zinc) , then the problem of monopoly and inflation will be solved on it's own. The government on her part will not continue to wait for Innosson to bring down their prices Modified: why does many think I'm taking sides with this comment? 110 Likes 8 Shares |

The over hyped car assembler, loan defaulter and tax fraud disguising as an automobile manufacturer needs to begin an overhaul in his moving coffins packaging company. He may begin by employing a brain filled cone head individual and intelligent innovator like myself to champion electric cars production which is clearly the future. He should also stop dashing Big Brother Naija's women of easy virtue vehicles they keep as furniture at home and instead drive the Mercedes their "fans " gift them and invest more in Corporate Social Responsibilities like sponsoring brilliant minds to Universities in Europe , China and North America to aid technology transfer that will help his firm grow. Jokes aside, local automobile manufacturers should target individuals with low income who would most likely purchase vehicles for full time or part time transportation business to increase their income. In a country where people laugh at you for using a brand new current Infinix instead of a second hand iPhone 6 in 2020, it is funny to think that middle income or high income earners would buy a locally produced car for the price they can get a decent Toyota, Mercedes or Lexus. Produce more fine tricycles , mini buses and partner with hire purchase companies to sell and distribute them to your target consumers who do not drive vehicles for clout. There is a huge potential here. Lagos State and every other State yet to ban commercial motorcycles completely have waiting consumers for such vehicles. 256 Likes 23 Shares |

That will bring more revenue to Nigerias government because it will kill the car importation business through cotonou. But at the same time, it may mark the end of our growing automobile industry. The likes of innoson should worry. Government has chosen more money over greater technology transfers here. Obviously, the government is really cash strapped. Benin republic rakes in billions from Nigerians through the many cars going towards Nigeria that are cleared at her ports every year. It may also improve the quality and models of cars driven in Nigeria. You will be surprised that in relative terms, folks in cotonou drive more recent models of cars than Nigerians. Nigerians have to drive older models because importers pay lesser duties on those, thereby standing a better chance of making more profits... Problem is that the accrued revenue will ultimately disappear into private hands or end up being used to biuld up Niger republic.. 140 Likes 5 Shares |

Good way to go, but if you ask me I'll say it's long overdue. Some of these stringent policies need to be free up cus it has multiplier effect on job creation and economic prosperity. This has been the undoing of the present administration. Locking up route completely without creating a sustainable viable alternative. 34 Likes 3 Shares |

Foolish and regressive policy. Everyone knows that fuel price is responsible for high transportation costs and not import duties. If fuel price is slashed today, the effect will be immediate unlike the duty reduction whose effects is dubious. 50 Likes 3 Shares |

SavageMaster:Best bet will be to quicken the process of manufacturing most of his raw materials locally. That will be capital intensive tho. Maybe alligning with the Chinese suppliers to set up shops locally.. In better managed environments, government would have helped to prop-up factories to help the supply chain. But this government is more interested in tax and spend. It's very easy to revert to policies like this to jack up revenue in the short term, but domesticating sundry technologies related to the car manufacturing business will ultimately grow the economy/Nigerias industrial base in the long run. There is also the problem of costant change of policies. Most of the big brands trying to open up assembly plants in Nigeria may not go on with the plan. Obviously, tokumbo cars will be cheaper.. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Na wa ooooo!!! We complain everyday about how difficult it is doing business due to the burden of tax, duties and levies imposed by the government. Now they say they wanna slash levy and someone thinks IT IS TARGETED AT INNOSON. Isn't this a normal economic incentive deployed by governments around the world to help boost commerce and stimulate the economy? Why do we always have to bring everything down to tribe and religion in this country? How do you people's minds work exactly. Gosh! ![]() 146 Likes 13 Shares |

An evidence that Buhari government is confused. Policy instability is one of the things that drives away investors. It was supposed to be time for Igbo man like innoson but because hr is not a northerner, let the policy be changed to disfavor him. What happened to the automotive policy of Nigeria? As I dey like this now, I don't know where we are headed economically, NNPC have changed from oil producer to oil importer. Resources in the north is for the people that in the south is for the government, Ipob are terrorist while Fulani herdsmen and BH are misunderstood people that government needs to negotiate with. I won't be surprised if its a northerner that was given a contract and had to lobby for this to be lifted so that he can make good gains, after that government will reverse the policy again. God help us from this circular motion. 34 Likes 2 Shares |

tsdarkside:I don't like made in Nigeria rice. Lots of stones. So why am I being forced to eat that with the closure of the borders? How can you support the ban on imported rice, a staple food eaten by Nigerians daily but become happy with the liberalisation of car imports? What changed!? Import bans on rice makes an essential, very costly, while reduced charges on car imports, makes a not so essential product cheaper... The problem with you guys is that you all start off by projecting your rabid tribalism on others. The only good thing in this policy is that Abuja politicians will have more money to spend. Otherwise any critical mind will know that this policy automatically makes Nigeria the dumping ground of used cars in the world. You are going to buys cars. Many cars. But it's still tokumbos used elsewhere. Capital flight with streets and highway littered with broken down caterpillars and lorries. Why bother explaining to you guys?

Government paid online agents have already turned the thread to a tribal war, but we know from the days of #Endsars that they're mostly northerners pretending to be Igbos and Yorubas to cause disunity between the two biggest southern tribes. This policy applies to fairly used cars while Innoson produces brand new cars. This policy wouldn't negatively affect Innoson business because his cars are not targeted at fairly used cars buyers. 22 Likes |

Great decision. In fact, it is long overdue. We moved from importing 50,000 brand new cars to importing about 10,000 after the policy was implemented. The auto industry has been in a mess since the policy was introduced. Sadly, the car makers that Jonathan and Aganga told us would start manufacturing in Nigeria have all gone audio. So, we ended up making importation of cars difficult and not producing anything locally to meet our needs. Kudos to Buhari for reversing the policy. 31 Likes 3 Shares |
