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.
