President Bola Tinubu has given the assurance that his administration would continue to put in place policies for the industrialisation of the country.
A statement by the presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, noted that Tinubu disclosed this when he received a delegation of the African Association of Automotive Manufacturers and the Nigerian Automotive Manufacturers Association.
The president, represented by his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, met the members, led by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Ms Doris Uzoka-Anite, on Friday in Abuja.
He urged the delegation to ensure that locally manufactured vehicles are of the highest standard that would stand the test of time and complement government’s efforts in revitalising the automotive industry.

Tinubu urged the association to look into producing vehicles that would be affordable for all categories of Nigerians as the government rolls out consumer credit for millions of Nigerians to purchase vehicles and other important goods and services.
The delegation included the director-general of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Mr Oluwemimo Osanipin.
