Top Nigeria Made Cars and their Current Prices in 2020.

Nigeria Made Vehicles – Over the decades, where everything in Nigeria is imported including petty things like toothpicks, pencil even children erasers from neighboring countries and continents across the globe. We’d been exploited for our lack of technical know-how and limit in sophistication… Car manufacture did not seem to be a possibility that even though most Nigerians conceived the idea due to our over-dependence on other nations but that doesn’t seem to be the case today; at least, there has been a great deal of improvement in our technology and manpower lately.

Nigeria Made Cars

Count down to the late 90s where importation of cars was the order of the day. Car owners flaunted their Tokunbos knowing it wasn’t easy to afford an imported product let alone a car.

Following the automotive policy which was propagated in 2013, the first made in Nigeria car was completed by Nissan in 2014 by multinational companies upon establishing a car assembly plant.

A black Nissan Patrol, Almera, and NP300 were manufactured at Lagos in the company’s assembly plant.

With this leading breakthrough, other car manufacturers began to show interest in the manufacture of cars including  Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Limited founded by Nigerian industrialist, Chief Innocent Chukwuma. This auto company is already assembling Made-in-Nigeria cars from the Nnewi plant in Anambra State.
