"Nigeria will start exporting cars soon" - President Jonathan

President Jonathan said with the new National
Automotive Industry Policy introduced by his
administration, the country will soon be exporting
cars to other countries. He said this while
speaking with a delegation of business owners
from Anambra State led by the State governor,
Peter Obi, who paid him a courtesy visit at the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.
"If any country will be great, we must
industrialise. If Nigeria must be a great
country, we must industrialise. To this end,
we will continue to encourage industrialists
in Anambra. We are totally committed to
creating jobs. Nigeria is a country with huge
population of youths. If jobs are not created,
there will be crisis. The housing, agriculture
and power sectors are also receiving
attention. In the next few years, Nigeria will
begin to export cars to other countries. We
are encouraging government to support local
manufacturers”President Jonathan said.
The National Automotive Policy seeks to address
the issue of low-grade cars being dumped in
Nigeria as well as create mass employment and
increase human capacity in automotive
technology.
