Doris Uzoka-Anite, the minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, said Nigeria can produce its vehicles within 10 years.

The minister stated this on Friday while launching the Nigeria Automotive Industry Development Plan at a gathering that was attended by stakeholders drawn from the private and public sectors.

According to the minister, plans are underway to position Nigeria as a major player in the vehicle manufacturing industry.

Doris Uzoka-Anite said the automotive industry development plan was drawn to position Nigeria as a fully-fledged vehicle manufacturer within the next 10 years.

In her words:

“Nigeria has the capacity to produce its own vehicles. We have the raw materials; we have the skills; we have a market, and now we have a plan that can help us produce our vehicles. These vehicles include motorcycles, tricycles, sedans, heavy-duty trucks.

“With this plan, we should see Nigeria fully producing its own vehicles within 10 years. Our goal is to reduce the cost of purchasing a vehicle for the average Nigerian.”

On his part, Joseph Osanipin, the director-general of the National Automotive Design and Development Council, stated that the policy proposed to help actualize the plan was a five-year tax holiday for assemblers of vehicles in Nigeria.

He said, “Through such fiscal initiatives, there is a deliberate focus on backward integration and component production.”

Members of the Automotive Industry Development Plan implementation committee are drawn from the Ministries of Finance, Transport, and Environment as well as Industry, Trade and Investment.

It also comprises the Nigeria Customs Service, the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, and the Standards Organization of Nigeria.

Recall that last year, Nigeria’s vehicle assembling industry, estimated to be worth around N302bn, tanked to a new low due to increasing production costs and weakened demand for locally assembled automobiles.

According to the Manufacturers CEOs Confidence Index, activities of motor vehicles and miscellaneous assembly deteriorated further below the benchmark (50 points) from 48.6 to 46.7 points.

For example, in the second quarter of 2023, players in the sector saw production and distribution costs soar by 17.3 percent, while the cost of shipments increased by 14.7 percent.

Capacity utilization in the sector dropped by 5.6 percent, forcing local assemblers to cut their workforce by 5.7 percent during the period.

Before 2014, when a policy for the automobile industry was released, giving licenses for automobile dealerships in Nigeria, the importation of used cars had threatened to wipe up the gains of partnerships forged by the Nigerian governments with foreign car manufacturers in the 1970s

The Federal Government’s Automotive Policy of 2014 is geared towards providing a framework that would support automobile companies to boost local content and establish a vehicle financing scheme that would provide funds for citizens to buy new cars.

However, despite the policy, the government’s refusal to patronize locally manufactured vehicles, coupled with poor regulations, has constituted an albatross on the neck of the industry.

Currently, Nigeria produces less than 10 percent of the vehicles used in the country.
