Is Nigeria ripe enough to have its own automobile industry? If Nigeria is only producing less than 5% of automobile components, the country is not a manufacturer but an assembler. Nigeria could have been a leading automobile manufacturing country if the Volkswagen and Peugeot assembly plants were still alive. If the politicians are not interested in the development of the automobile industry in this country, what of private sectors? In most civilised countries, the automobile industry contributes more than 15 per cent workforce.
