Twenty-four hours after the new automotive development plan was approved by the Federal Executive Council, the Federal Government on Thursday said a new tariff on the importation of cars would be announced soon.
The move will make imported cars more expensive thus, promoting the purchase of locally manufactured vehicles.
The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Mr. Olusegun Aganga, confirmed the development during a chat with journalists in Abuja.
Aganga said the old tariff had been reviewed upwards, adding that the new tariff had already been approved by the Federal Government.
This, he added, was part of measures to develop the Nigerian automotive industry.
“The importation of Tokunbo vehicles will not be a major threat to the automotive development plan. The tariff for the importation of cars has been reviewed upward and will be announced soon,” he said.
Aganga also said the ministry had commenced, with immediate effect, the implementation of the Automotive Industrial Policy Development Plan.
The measures, which were approved by the Federal Executive Council on Wednesday, according to the minister, will position Nigeria in the league of auto-producing countries.
He said with the new measures, the automotive industry would create significant, good quality employment and a wide range of technologically advanced manufacturing opportunities.
He said, “In many countries around the world, the automotive industry plays both strategic and catalytic roles in economic development, particularly in employment creation and wealth generation.
“With our current population and economy, our potential vehicle market is about one million vehicles a year. This is more than sufficient to support an automotive industry.”
While stating that the manufacture of vehicles would enable Nigeria to acquire the technologies of mass production and quality control, Aganga said arrangements were being made to manufacture new cars that would be sold for between N1.2m and N1.5m.
He said, “Recognising the strategic effects of the automotive industry in industrialisation, emerging economies like Brazil, China, Malaysia, India, Iran, Indonesia, Thailand and South Africa took deliberate steps to develop their automotive industry between the 1960s and 1980s.
“Nigeria started about the same time in the 1970s. These countries have, however, developed well advanced automotive industries now in contrast to Nigeria. The Nigerian auto development plan will promote investments in the assembly of inexpensive cars in the country at prices, which Nigerians can afford, and will gradually substitute the large and growing car imports coming into the country.”
The Director-General, National Automotive Council, Mr. Aminu Jalal, said many international automotive manufacturers in particular, Toyota, Nissan, Renault and General Motors, had indicated interest to invest in Nigeria following the evolution of the automotive development plan.
He said, “Nissan, Toyota and others are now conducting a feasibility study on vehicle assembly in Nigeria.
“At full capacity, the Nigerian automotive industry has the potential to create 70,000 skilled and semi-skilled jobs along with 210,000 indirect jobs in the Small and Medium-scale Enterprises sector that will supply the assembly plants.”
Jalal said 490,000 other jobs would also be created in the raw materials supply industries.
He added that importers could still clear imported vehicles at the old rates until February 28, 2014, provided “they can prove that they had opened a letter of credit for the vehicles before October 3, 2013.

Femmy,

I have used few agents to clear my vehicles before seeing nairalanders do clear vehicles. I am wondering why my vehicles cleared by the agents always have scratches in both front and back bumper! Is it a thing that could have been avoided? Please how can I be sure this won't happen to my future vehicles? I really need the answers, am always unhappy each time I see these happen.

Thanks.

femmy2010:

This often happen to vehicles that didn't run when been brought out of the ship or moved out of the terminal for delivery.
Thanks
to a large extent it can be avoided by making sure the battery in it is very good,the vehicle is mechanically sound and there is a little gas left in it so it can start at the port of discharge.
Thanks

Thanks, that makes sense
Appreciated.

Have him ship them roro on Grimaldi shipping line.
N200k and N250k would clear the 99 Camry and 04 Maxima respectively.
