The Federal Government is committed to the continuity of the Nigerian Auto Policy.
The Director General of National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Aminu Jalal, made this affirmation saying that President Muhammadu Buhari had repeatedly emphasised Federal Government’s determination to diversify the economy through the promotion, support and protection of local industrial production in all areas that the country had sufficient capacity, including the automotive industrial sub-sector.
The NADDC boss stated that Federal Government is committed to the patronage of Made-in-Nigeria automobiles, adding that all Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies were mandated to source their vehicle procurements from local assembly plants except where the specification of the required vehicle was not among the range of models being produced by the various brand names in the country.
He gave this assertion in his office in Abuja recently while receiving a group of Chinese investors from the world’s largest manufacturer of high capacity buses, Zhengzhou Yutong Buses Company Limited.
