The issue is, how many Nigerians can afford a brand new car? Is Nigerian roads motorable enough, to encourage so much money to be spent on cars? GEJ and his team are just clueless, GEJ just save your money and energy dont dream of 2015.... 4 Likes |

This Gej government self.They don't sit down and reason the implications of their policy before they start the implementation. You ve not produced even a tyre in Nigeria, u are talking of raising d tariff of tokunbo vehicles. Look at Dunlop and Michelin tyres that were formerly produced in Nigeria, where are they today. High cost of production occasioned by the govt failure to address the electricity problem had driven them out of Nigeria.They should ve started this automotive policy first and start rolling out made in Nigeria vehicles before trying to ban tokunbo vehicles.We Will resist in totality any obnoxious policy that will further create hardship for the citizenry. This govt is too elitist. 5 Likes |

To sustain a 100% Nigeria auto manufacturing unit, one virtually has to own a power generating company. This policy can only help foreign car companies sell more, provide corrupt politicians with more loot, and enable smugglers earn more. Good policy, wrongly timed and applied. Any percentage increase in tariff should be on ALL vehicles, at a time when Nigeria starts producing a reasonable quantity of cars. 4 Likes |

Re: Tariff On Imported Tokunbo Cars Raised by oguash: 11:07am On Oct 04, 2013 |
Questions dat must be asked before rolling out this policy. 1) will govt officials patronize this so called made in nigeria vehicles? 2) do we have enough electricity to power the so called plants 3) do we have functional steel plants that will roll out steel for the plants? 4) do we have a middle class in nigeria? 5) how does the govt intend to stop smuggling? I still have a thousand more questions to ask but I would want one GEJ spokesman to help in answering these questions first 2 Likes |

Re: Tariff On Imported Tokunbo Cars Raised by Hamazz1: 11:12am On Oct 04, 2013 |
Sometimes I wonder if this govt is half serious abt transforming this country by increasing the tariff import tax or customs duty u r indirectly increasing the cost of the car which is the idea to deter importers but this is not wht the Nigerian ailing iron n steel industry needs wht we need is a deliberate aggressive approach something like total ban on car importation that will sharply revitalize our manufacturing industry or force this automobile companies to set up factories in our. Country due to the market. |

bigshow123: Why wil FG not try and fix power first b4 comin up wit dis policy. Car manufacturin plants is not a yorghurt company where u can use generators to operate. Power must be on 24/7. Always puttin d cart b4 d horse Isn't power been fixed now? We complain too much in this country. Or, every other Govt plan/policy should be put at abeyance until Nigeria generates 20,000MW? Doesn't it make much more Strategic sense to pursue these important paths together, although with few of them taking some priority over others? Me thinks this is a very well thought out policy. And timely too. INNOSON and Co would surely be happy for it; and, so would we with the jobs and associated opportunities that would ensue if the policy is well implemented 1 Like |

During the mid 90s the FG limited the age of the car that could be brought in this all came about when it was alleged that PAN had an influence in this decision. Now we all could smell a rat |

While unpopular I am with the government on this one, they are not stopping you from bringing in the tokumbo cars, but you will have to pay to get them. When government did the same thing with clothes a few years ago people screamed, yet look at that sector now in Nigeria it's booming. Until the government made a move like this the automotive industry would never improve. The next step is for the government to stop using foreign produced cars, thereby directly funding the local industry. Can you imagine the sales of innoson if all the arms of government used only their cars? And like all things in life, you get better with experience, innoson is a relatively new company, yet their new buses are quite good, so imagine where they can/will be in 10 years. 1 Like |

This is by FAR the most STUPID, IMBECILIC and M0R0NIC thing the Federal Government has done in the past year. Nigeria is struggling with masses of old, decrepit cars with poor fuel consumption, high pollution rating and poor safety features. The Number 1 target for the FG (in lieu of enough local production of popular cars) should be a drastic reduction of import tariffs on modern tokunbo and the drastic reduction in import duties on new cars. Innoson motors is just starting, has vehicles that are largely unpopular and have yet to sway the buying public. Jonathan's Government continues to lurch from one bad, anti-people decision to another, and at this point you'd have to be really crazy to defend this latest travesty. This position is totally indefensible and should be condemned by anyone with a functional brain. NEVER will I vote for this clown in 2015. anybody else has to be better than him. 5 Likes |

freezy: Comments from Punch Readers: Emeka, no country in the world bans imported used cars, even the United States that have many car manufacturing companies, Germany with their numerous car manufacturing companies still allow used cars from other countries. Not everybody can afford the new cars. You Nigerians easily buy these false government economical theories. They say different thing and do opposite. It s a pity that GEJ is allowing himself to be deceived by the people who are not happy to see him reelected. There are many things the federal government should first of all ban, 1: Generators if they are serious in their power transformation 2: Private jets which are the causes of the monthly plane crashes in Nigeria. 3: Foreign medical treatment because they are fairly used medical ideologies too, if they want to encourage our local medical practitioners. 5: Foreign education too because our local institutions should be encouraged too. Why only the business that helps the poor masses that the government always ban? Locally produced cars should be encouraged but not in this regards, why rushing the ban while the local car producing companies are not well funded? How would you cope the demand of the cars when the produced cars are not yet enough for the demand? How much is the salary of the workers in Nigeria to purchase new cars of Millions of naira? Common we should first walk before we think of running. This is one of the policies that would deny GEJ his second tenure if will conduct a free and fair election in Nigeria, his regime is fast becoming an anti people government. No country bans goods they don't produce 95% of it, Nigeria will not grow over night. Stop the importation of the 18 century trains and rail lines first. GEJ honestly i am doubting your capability in ruling this country 4 Likes |
