The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) in its latest figures indicated that there were about 11.8 million licensed cars on Nigeria’s roads as at Q4 2018, compared to 11.6 million in the corresponding period of 2017.

According to the report, Nigeria witnessed a 2 per cent increase in the number of licensed cars Year- on -Year; that is between Q4 of 2018 and Q4 2017, respectively.

The NBS report disclosed that as at Q4 2018, commercial cars recorded the highest numbers of licensed cars on Nigeria’s roads, having made up 41% of the total cars.


Diplomatic cars recorded the least number of licensed cars, constituting of just 0.05% of the total licensed cars in Nigeria.

“With an estimated population of 198 million, Nigeria’s vehicle per population ratio is 0.06. Similarly, the Bureau’s report shows that 630,868 drivers’ licenses were produced in 2018”, the report said.


A total of 185,883 national drivers licenses were produced in Q4 2018

The number of recorded fresh licenses was 75,446, while the number of renewed licenses and reissued licenses stood at 14,802

The report disclosed that with an increase in one car for every six people in Nigeria, the number of cars may have increased as at the fourth quarter of 2018; the reported increase in Nigeria’s population suggests the 2% increase is not a big deal. With Nigeria’s population pegged at 198 million, the figure implies that the country has only one car per six Nigerians.


Lagos State, according to the report leads states with highest number of driver’s license produced.In Q 2018, 42,402 licenses were produced, representing 22.8% of the total licenses produced.

“The number of people involved in road accident in 2018 increased by 19% in Q4 of 2018. According to the report, in Q4 2018, the number of people involved in road accident increased to 18,729, as against 15,696 people in Q4 2017. This represents a 19% increase in the number of road accidents Victims in Nigeria”, it said.

The report further showed that out of 3,495 vehicles involved in road accidents in Q4 2018, cars recorded the highest number with 1,312.

This is followed only by Minibus recording 821. Motorcycle recorded 747, while trucks involved in road accident were 460. The number of Tankers was 85 while Trailer recorded 182.

According to Bernstein’s Report, the total number of cars on the road around the world and kilometres flown in planes will nearly double by 2040. Cars are projected to reach the two billion mark by 2040, while air travel kilometres are set to hit 20 trillion in the same period.

“One of the economic impacts an increase in the number of cars has on the Nigerian economy is that more jobs will be created for automakers and car dealers. Although the Nigerian-based auto industry jobs have declined for several decades now, thousands of Nigerians still make a living designing, building and selling cars

“Beyond the initial purchase, every car continues to cost its owner money, hence, leading to a broader economic impact. For instance, cars require fuel, which itself constitutes a major expense. Regular maintenance and repair following an accident, along with car insurance, are all additional costs to car owners. It is also an opportunities for secondary businesses to thrive”, it said.

Is that the reason we experience more hold up in Abuja recently?

I am changing mine this year to a more sweeter baby IJN

Yet no blueprint in the transport sector! No statistics to them that this figure would triple in the coming year!

How can they decongest traffic situation? What are the plans in place? Nigeria a disgrace

The report disclosed that with an increase in one car for every six people in Nigeria

...........the figure implies that the country has only one car per six Nigerians.

One car per every six Nigerians?!
That is a whole lot on its own!!

Let us make some research on cars per citizens in the top 5 countries of the world and see what we come up with.

Lgettibg therec

Werin concern me... Mine is loading...

Na lair Muhammad count am?

Each hosehold should have one or two cars each, less hold up and nigeria will be better somehow cos we still have alot of things limiting us including bad leadership.

Too much, when a family of 3 would be having 5-7 card alone.

just do the research make you tell us

this is double counting, are all the cars really function, did they include the scraps we find all over the country in streets and mechanic workshops.

hmm, Nigerian bullshit statisticians.

Yet, I don't have one���

90% of which are refurbished

.

THIS IS PROOF OF GARAGANTUAN SUBSIDY FRAUD


NNPC along with the DPR claims it pumps OUT 48 - 50 Million litres daily.

The average tank capacity is about 50 litres

11.2million x 50L = 59 million litres

This means virtually all the cars on Nigerian Roads fill there tanks EVERY DAY!!!

This figure is used to justify subsidy figures
.

Its a very factual report. The way i see Toks around where i live ehn.. Nigeria has become hotcake for accident-ed refurbished cars.

We don't need all these statistics, but in real sense, considering our population, the ratio of one car per six persons is sign of poverty in the country.

About 90% of them are between 90s model

Money no dey, money no dey, country hard, country hard but cars dey increase....Ok ooo.

simplyhonest:
for those who don't have yet...yours will soon be part of them

In Shaa Allah.
But seriously for me, I'll comment my reserve for now

I do not doubt that there is poverty in the land but your claim cannot be established with the data given. If mass transit is considered a cheaper and more convenient means of transportation by the masses, there should be no need to own a vehicle. I paused for a bit and went on wiki[i]_{(not great but better than nothing)}[/i] to find out whether or not there was a correlation between car ownership and HDI of a country it appears there is and it agrees with your conclusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_ownership
