LOW IMPORTS IS A SIGNS OF WEAK PURCHASING POWER AND INCREASING MULTIDIMENTIONAL POVERTY.
NO WONDER NOBODY CAN BUY TOKUNBO CARS AGAIN.... THE ONLY VEHICLES FOR SALE IS NIGERIAN USED...

He did say some facts.

Unfortunately, it was Buhari that left a mess, big economic mess. Tinubu is cleaning up the mess through his reforms.

However, rhe price of cars cam come down if the duties on them can be reduced.. Presently, its outrageously high, the fault coming from Jonathan's government, and as government is a continuum, others simply abided by it, rather than scrap it altogether.
