Please tell Mr. Shittu that his association can sue FG, .i.e, A.G, Adeosun in her official capacity, Custom board or custom head. They can bring an action to compel them to issue a schedule of vehicles clearing/ import duty to the public as against the hush hush secrecy, if the action succeeds, the court would order FG to do so.

These "give more fvck" memes are really starting to get old, especially when used in threads where we actually have to "give fvcks".
Imagine if your daddy has been saving up to buy that Honda Odyssey tokunbo he has been dreaming of, only to find out that he'll have to save up some more to buy Innoson (sic), then he'll now end up buying Marwa. How then would you feel? You'd give a fvck then, right?

If the people don't have bread, let them eat cake,!

What's wrong with importing cars for Pete sake?Nigeria has no comparative advantage in making cars.

Also, tokunbo car imports has created lots of jobs. The person reading this has either imported one, helped dispose one or knows car dealers that sell only tokunbo cars.

The World Bank estimates that 4million, Nigerians would be lifted out of poverty if the present bans in place were lifted.

The Economist magazine said bluntly that protectionism has failed to industrialise the country. So true

President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Olayiwola Shittu, in a telephone interview with The Guardian yesterday said the government was avoiding the real issues. He urged the Federal Government to solve the problems at the ports; review the auto policy and publish the duty payable on every model of vehicle to halt the regime of extortion by the customs.

ban importation of vehicles to revive production of vehicles

this man still get sense at all??

what measures has he put in place to boost local production??

as if we can PRODUCE vehicles locally till he go and meet yaradua!!

We can never and will never produce vehicles. It's plain old economics. All this idealistic arguments. How many parts make up a car. Ordinary Tyre na problem. Fuel pump Nko. What about sensors? For a car manufacturing plant to break even, they need to sell 100000 cars a year. How many of us can afford bag of rice right now? If Buharis argument for this ban is for us to start producing cars, then we voted wrong. Sad. He should have said all this during d campaign.

I see no sense in banning importation of cars through land borders, its not like as if scarce dollars are used in the procurement of these vehicles. I guess somebody somewhere who imports cars through the sea feels short changed somehw and has thus influenced the govt to ban car importation through the borders.

Everything is wrong with this country.If canada or even usa can allow access of vehicles .Why not nigeria ??

You can't compare their functional system with that of Nigeria's dysfunctional system.

“The same policy was reviewed by the previous government because we were losing revenue. All the old vehicles were in Cotonou and that policy alone enriched that country. Now we are bringing the policy again when we have failed to address the issues at the ports. If you bring in vehicles to the ports with high costs, how do you sell the vehicles? And the kind of valuation that customs are giving vehicles at the point of entry, these are the issues we must address.”
Amiwero lamented that procedures at the ports in terms of valuation of vehicles are worrisome, alleging that the customs are not complying with the valuation principle.
“Government should address the issues of valuation of vehicles; cost of bringing in the consignment into the country; and the entire procedure. That is when you can then start to talk about banning it. Besides, government must understand that it is not every vessel that can come into Nigeria due to shallow draft. Most of the vessels can decide to go to Togo than coming here because of our draft level. Go to Togo, Benin Republic and Cameroun and see how many ships are berthing,” he said, even as he expressed doubts about the capacity of the customs to combat massive smuggling that would arise as a result of the policy.

My grouse with the directives is that the deadline was way too short and the high tariffs incurred along with the bottleneck's encountered while trying to clear imported cars through the seaports has not been addressed as well which the custom officer's are cashing on.

The only issue I see here is the extortion of importers by custom officials. Non declaration of duties payable on imported vehicles. The association should arrange themselves and go to court and demand for transparency in handling vehicles clearing procedures. Instead of appealing to government who wouldn't listen, go to court.

quoted from the post : "...But it has the potential of revving up the local production of vehicles"

which local production of vehicles? how many local vehicles do we have? if you want to encourage local prpduction...it should begin with the government! let all official vehicle be Innoson or any Nigerian made vehicle.

yeye dey smell. una dey use Ford, Bmw, Range etc una no wan make we sef use am. any vehicle wey una dey use na wetin we go use. nonsense!

The FG wants to suck in as much car Assembly Plants to Nigeria as possible. We can be a hub for manufacturing. All car companies have strategic supply chain processes that are waiting for just this

The title is misleading. You can import vehicles into nigeria. The duties have been raised that's all. There is no ban on car imports just an increase in tariffs
