Yes, the PAN factory in Kaduna is still operational. So is ANAMMCO in Enugu, which assembles Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses, NTM in Kano, that assembles Steyr and Qingqi trucks, and GM Nigeria in Ikeja Lagos, which assembles Isuzu range of vehicles. There is also Nigerian Motors Industries in Apapa (Amuwo-Odofin), that assemles forklifts and I think that Incar Nigeria still assembles buses (albeit fitfully).

Are the vehicles produced in these factories exported or used within Nigeria?

Made-in-Nigeria Car Feasible By 2017, Says NAC Boss
Abuja - The Director General of the National Automotive Council (NAC), Alhaji Aminu Jalal said yesterday in Abuja that to have a Nigerian car was feasible by 2017 if there is patronage by all the tiers of governments.

He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that a Nigerian car was one with 65 percent to 70 percent of the parts/components sourced locally, adding that what the automotive industry needed was market for the products and this would encourage people to invest in the sector.

"All over the world, car manufacturers depend on components manufacturers for their platform or chassis, the engine and the driver train such as gear box, body parts, electrical parts and wind screens. For every job in a car factory, there are other three jobs outside," he said.

Jalal also called for the protection of the industry as a veritable way to achieving a Nigerian car, saying that the could come in the form of high tariff on imported cars and lower tariff on locally manufactured ones.

He said Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN) used to get its supply of radiators from a company called Quality Radiator based in Port Harcourt, adding that "when PAN's production went down drastically, the company started producing plastics," he said.

He said that if Nigerians were patriotic, and insisted on buying locally assembled new cars, no matter how small, the auto industry would grow.

"For instance, in South Korea, you can only see their own cars such as Kia and Hyundai," he said. (NAN)

In order for this to see the light of day, the goverment has to shut its borders and strictly enforce and encourage home grown technology just as the Chinese did in the seventies and emerged 30 years later as a global powerhouse.
Also, the erratic and shameful power situation in the country has to be put to an end. Without power, nothing can grow. It is has simple as that.
