Like a strawberry wife, that lays two or
three great strawberries at the mouth of her pot, while the rest in the pot are
diseased and tiny ones, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Olusegun
Aganga, may have initiated the idea of assembling vehicles to the Vaswani
brothers and other foreign auto companies, which they used to their advantage,
The Capital authoritatively reveal. Aganga, in a desperate yet successful ploy
has been able to hoodwink the federal government and the citizenry into believing
that a dawn of automotive and industrial bliss has berthed in the country
courtesy the much hyped made in Nigeria vehicles campaign.
The National Automotive Policy (NAP) which
was conceived with the intention of reducing Nigeria’s dependence on importation
of new and used vehicle may have run into troubled waters as KIA, Nissan and
the Vaswani brothers, owner of Stallion Motors, the economic giant contracted
with the project, are yet to show any evidence that the touted vehicles are
being assembled in Nigeria.
Stallion Motors’ much hyped and widely
celebrated claim of assembling new vehicles in the country has been discovered
to be untrue.
