val_dee: A good step but in the wrong direction.

Why not start with vegetable oil. We can easily meet the local demand but the imported ones has and are still forcing local producers out of business.


Cement nko. The list is endless but they started with cars.

I hope it works though but ...

Time will tell.

This oga Jona sef

mosun_ade: Why are they not saying this policy is a ploy to enrich INNOSON, just like they shouted about the imported sugar policy, they said it was a ploy to enrich Dangote. Double standards. Now I know not to take some people serious anymore.

solomon111: The difference is that dangote has created a reputation of employing negative market tactics to stifle local competitiveness.
He dosen't want other Nigerians to enjoy what he is enjoying.

ojeniyi.:
We are currently assembly cars
we aingat automobile manufacturing plant yet in this country but we can force the japanesse,iranian and chinesse automobile company to build plants here in Nigeria.

saxywale:

wtf! who would have thought we still import vegetable oil in Nigeria despite the thousands of acres of oil palm field.

Dis Guy:

true



such as?... rumours rumours

solomon111: There was a case where dangote sued ibeto on behalf of the FG for importing cement into the country.
The FG dissociated itself from the lawsuit,and the case was thrown out.

Dis Guy:


you want them to sap all over 4000MW finish?

floriana: This president is a merchant of death. 2013, the year many government officials will die from sub-standard vehicles accident

nezpablo: FG shld stop their hide and seek game. This policy is a ruse as FG will not patronize Innoson or whatever. Though,it is a good policy but may not happen.Pls do nt be carried away. Let FG buy like 800 cars for each states MDAs,then,we can say they are fulfilling d policy

CFCfan:

Haha . That is why it's so important for power generation and supply to increase dramatically. Like I've said in another thread, at least 80,000 MW of power has to be generated, transmitted and distributed for an industrial revolution to take place in Naija.

Dis Guy:

erm they produce about 8000 vehicles annually

floriana: This president is a merchant of death. 2013, the year many government officials will die from sub-standard vehicles accident

a1solution: Are they manufacturin car in Nigeria or assembling? Cos i knw at the moment Naija cannot manufacture motor cycle talkless of car.

jaymichael: so what will now become of foreign cars in the possession of the MDAs ? does that mean that they will decommission all of those and and spend scarce funds on the procurement of new vehicles? they should have been allowed to continue using the foreign vehicles but banned from procuring same. any new procurement will be Nigerian made, with time, the foreign vehicles will be phased out without the need for expensive total replacements.
