Miss Minister Inflicting Pain and hardship on Nigerians all because you want to raise revenue?

I don't understand her kind of economics, increasing tariff discourage importation which means many jobs will be lost. Grimaldi has sacked almost 80% of their drivers because few people still import Cars.

High Tariff means low revenue. Why not reduce tariff to encourage importation so you can generate more revenue since we can't manufacture Cars in Nigeria for now.

Brilliant idea!!! I have always wondered why Nigerians should be going to Cotonou to bring in vehicles over the years.This singular harmonisation of import duties with Cotonou rate will in the long run divert over 60% of the revenue previously lost to Benin republic.

Nigeria dont have stable policy and that is why investors ran away.
When we are encouraging motor companies to come and build their plants here and at the same time encouraging tokunbo to flood d market.
One step forward ten steps backward.

This does not hamper local car production at this stage.

Our local car manufacturers CANNOT meet up with even 5% of the demand.

That said, few people can afford a new car.

To grow local car companies aggressively, you need our steel factories, low rates car loans (VERY IMPORTANT), and stable power supply.

Do that, the Toyotas, Hondas, Mercedes, Tatas, Hyundais and co. will come and establish their factories here . . . the market is large, they can feed a large chunk of Africa from Nigeria, then, you will automatically see car imports reduce -- we using 'Tokunbos' is a child of circumstances -- we rode strictly new cars in the 70s and early 80s . . . PAN was doing great then.

Put one tariff down, bring 10 up. Confused policies up and down. Mschew
That's how it is done everywhere, depending on the direction the government in place wants to follow.

tomorrow they will come & scream how we need to buy local. we have 14 vehicle assembly plants. rather than improve infrastructure to make the cost of business cheaper and encourage them to move to full production, you want to encourage the same problem that has stunted our manufacturing sector...

Thanks for your better post.
Many will be shouting UNEMPLOYMENT but will support this reversal of the automotive policy of the Jonathan administration that encouraged companies start assembling vehicles here and progressively source for manufactured parts here.

Someone is about to kill the auto industry that Jonathan worked so hard to revive.

Why not encourage the customs to redouble their efforts to substantially reduce smuggling while you speed up the implementation of the auto policy by introducing (government assisted) flexible payment plan to encourage people to buy new and made in Nigeria cars.


If you must reduce the duty why not do that for the entire border so that people can import directly into the country instead of weakening the naira against the cefa.

Nice!

Abeg is any used car Tokunbo even if it was driven for a year?

I know about the real Tokunbo, like the ones that have actually been in the okun flood like in Louisiana (hehehe not funny oo) that are going to be making their ways to Nigeria soon.

Bad idea! The real solution should be tightening of the border!

Reducing tariffs means that more people will import vehicles instead of patronizing Nigerian made or Nigerian assembled vehicles like Innoson, Nissan, etc.

Tariff was never increased, what really happened is that the increase in exchange rate is affecting the calculation of the import duty, ex factory price remain the same.

Duty to be paid on cars valued at $2000 @197 naira exchange to a dollar is quite lower than the same car at $2000 but @313 naira exchange to a dollar.

Example >
Before
Your car is valued at $2000, and the exchange is #197 to a dollar

2000*197=394,000
394,000*35%=137,900
Your basic duty is #137,900

Now
Your car valued at $2000 exchange is #313 to a dollar

$2000*313=626,000
626,000*35%=219,100
Your basic duty is #219,100

The difference is #81,200.

The effects of the exchange rate is really tormenting, government can only help by reducing the percentage that is to be paid on the imported goods, for example from 35% to like 10%.

If the statement credited to finance minister is true then it's a right step for now.
