The Federal Government in a new automotive bill is set to compel any
automobile firm selling above 10,000 vehicles per annum in Nigeria to
establish a local assembly plant or be ready to quit the market, Punch
reports.
“The new law, which will give a legal backing to the auto policy of the
Federal Government, should be ready in April. The bill has passed the
second reading. And any auto company that is selling 10,000 passenger
cars must have an assembly plant here,” Director-General, National
Automotive Council, Mr. Aminu Jalal said.
According to him the bill has already passed the second reading at the Senate.
