For d govt wey you dey control abi ? Or wetin Dem send you. Anyway na u still better small small pass the rest

AlhajiNatty:
All this policy statement sounds very good on paper.

the first assurance he can give them is to start driving Innoson himself....all his convoy inoson...see if there wont be growth in the industry....nonsense people, leadership by example is alien to them....tell people to embrace agriculture as the economy will be diversified and there is a lot of money in agric blablabla but they stilll enroll their own children for oil and gas management courses

GIANTPLUSHUB:
Federal government protection or federal government/state government compulsory patronage.

God bless you o.....policy statement but National assembly go still buy 468 prado n landcruisers, osinbajo himself doesnt drive innoson.....if all heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies of FG alone are mandated to drive Innoson ...watch how the local automotive industry will grow........less money lost on FOREX when trying to ship in benz, toyota n the rest

englishmart:
Yet they don't patronize Innoson, or is it because he's from the main south?

which one be main south again....loooool

Claudiusdeux:
So payroll support for now, but nothing about high tarrifs on imported components...if I understood the report.

Plus, the industry should be getting dollars at a favorable rate

dis government is very unfortunate...this dollar will stilll be the end of Nigerian economy....people in government do not want to discourage importation i think

Macphenson:
Osinbajo we have more pressing issues in this country. Insecurity and hunger are dealing with Nigerians.

Help us address them.

Only if you know how an effective automobile policy will drive employment and how High rate of employment will quench insecurity. Sometimes you need to think the intention of Government through before jumping into conclusion with comments like this.

Talk is cheap

It is not just about protecting an industry, it is about protecting the economy, and protecting everybody.

No sector is left untouched. Every sector needs as much support as possible

I know there are many constraints to manufacturing, but we can make things work - Osinbajo.

I love this kind of positive attitude

This is a welcome development

NaijaFutbol:
So Osinbajo still dey this government?

No more sending hearts out to the several victims of terrorism?

Or is this one MechanicMoni for automotive manufacturers?

Stop being a clown�

A serious government that knows that manufacturing is key to development will do everything possible to help manufacturers.
This is a welcome development

It's quite understandable the background of all this. The auto dealer were frightened by the govt policy on car importation especially with the reduced tarrif but many of them cant make cars for low income earners in the country, hence the need for govt to approach more holistically.

There should be maximum protection on this industry because they create jobs and contribute alot to our GDP.

The government has seen the need to expand the scope and the reach of the benefits of the ongoing implementation of the Survival Fund under the Economic Sustainability Plan following the impact and interest already generated among Nigerians

Osinbajo is always involved in all sectors, no sector can come out to say Osinbajo has neglected them, except he's not aware they exist which I strongly doubt.

Nigeria has the potential to become the hub of Africa's automotive industry, please this can be very achievable if they get the right support

Some people might think an effective automobile policy won’t help improve the economy. Every single person, no matter the work they do make use of transport. I like the fact that transport drivers were added to the survival fund program. A lot of times, these people are always forgotten.

There are so solutions at his fingertips. The Automotive Industry should begin to act immediately in that direction, instructions and protection gotten from Osinbajo led Economic solutions of the federal government.
Osinbajo is the reason I'm proudly a Nigerian. He has given us more reasons why we remain Giant of African. Gradually we will join the league of most developed nation of the world.

Osinbajo is always there to push things tru

The protection is quite needed. We need to start promoting our local products, this will in no doubt help our manufacturers.

Nigeria with it's poor electricity supply want to establish automobile industry.
Make your Electricity stable and steady first before anything

The automobile manufacturers need to challenge themselves and take advantage of the Govt's promised support. It's high time we began to have affordable Nigeria made cars that can compete perfectly with other cars in the market. VP Yemi Osinbajo is a visionary and innovative leader that wants the very best for Nigerians and the economy.

Unsurprisingly Innoson's neighbors that haven't bought his cars are the most ferocious in demanding that government does the same, hypocrites the whole lot.
Yes the legislators got themselves out cars, but Innoson himself has said that the executive and military are patronizing him, what more do these people want.

The auto industry is one of the most important industries that contribute alot to the economic growth of the nation. The government need to protect them at all cost. Nice move Mr VP

A very good one from the federal government is this can be done then some of the issues are solved.

I just hope everything will be taken into proper consideration and done accordingly to how the Vice President has said it.

Are you okay with the trash you just write here? Even when the topic is for the betterment of our country, you still decided to be unfortunate.....Shame on you

This is indeed a welcoming development, Mr Vice President have done so great for opportunity

We need to patronize made in Nigeria. That is how we grow our Economy
