how many steel industries are functioning in Nigeria? Where is Ajaokuta? Where is Aladja? Who is in charge of them?. Can there be a functioning auto industry without a functioning steel industry? Auto industry don't just come over night, a good govt has a very active role to play by providing in infrastructure and good policies. The American govt rescued its auto industry during obama govt, even though it is a private industry, The economy has gone past 100percent free market "Adam smith" economy, now days, a good govt must do somethings to ensure a smooth working economy. Where is electricity in Nigeria? Where are the good roads? What is our ports capacity and efficiency? What good policies has the govt created? Cosmos maduka was regretting investing in the auto industry some months back, today the govt is out making false political statements about the industry and u are opposing my statement, I'm not daft.

Even if it's true Nigerians don't believe anymore ... The level of mistrust is so large that even truth looks like lie . That's the state Nigerians and govt is now . No single respect anymore

INNOSON alone will manufacture 98.3452% of that figure.




Every Nigerian is aware of this.

DankemzI:
Kudos to Innoson and proforce
Can't wait to see more of Innoson in our roads.
Only if we would patronize our own like Ghanaians drive kantanka

Its a good development if its true

oz4real83:
Unfortunately, govt's contribution to this is almost zero. This development, if it is true, is just the effort of private individuals. They sourced everything themselves and even power that should have been contributed by the govt is no where to be found.

Which government puts money into the auto industry?... the US? ... Japan?

@ topic .... countries through their policies are setting dates and regulations and incentives to phase out fossil fuel cars. What will the manufacturers do with their soon to be obsolete assembly plants? ... sell them as scrap iron?.... or shift them to a back to the future country and continue generating income? They found us and here we are celebrating... what next?...

Only few manufacture, others assemble.

ILLITERATE. Manufacturing and Assembly mean the EXACT SAME THING.

In the US car manufacturing plants are called ''car assembly plants''.

It is only in Nigeria that you bush people with inferiority complex invented a 'difference' between the two terms.

My friend, I worked in the auto industry in the UK for 15 years from 2000-2015 and I can tell you that the UK government provided grants to local universities in Warwick, Coventry University and Birmingham University to support Auto R & D. The UK government built roads (M6, M40 and M42) that integrate auto manufacturing towns in Castle Bromwich, Solihull, Coventry, Shirley and Gaydon.

The supply chain that connects these towns was built by the regional and national UK governments, the fact that Jaguar Land Rover can source the majority of its parts from the surrounding towns.

65% of car manufacturing is made up of iron and steel, hence until Nigeria develop a steel industry forget about the automobile industry, we had one in the 1980s and that did not last long once Nigeria couldn't afford the cost of the CKD and steel imports.

Nigeria cannot build a sustainable auto industry with petrochemical plants, steel plants, electricity power, clean water, talented technicians and engineers that all require government support
