The Director-General, National Automotive Design and Development Council, NADDC, Aminu Jalal, has said homegrown automobile assembly plants contributed 75,000 units to the automobile market in 2015.
The NADDC Boss said the figure represented 75 per cent of estimated 100,000 new vehicles that made it into the market during the period under review.
“Last year, the assembling plants did over 75,000 vehicles, made up of both locally assembled units and concessionary imports,” Jalal said.
“You know that assembly plants are not only producing, but are also importing fully built units (FBUs) as an incentive as provided by the auto policy.
He added:“This means that they supplied 75 per cent of the estimated 100,000 new vehicles that entered the market in 2015.”
