The Nigerian Automotive Design and Development Council is asking for a ban on imported vehicles above 20 years to stop Nigeria from becoming a dumping ground.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of PTML, Ascanio Rusco, said this during a ceremony to mark the reception of the vessel in Apapa, Lagos on Monday.
Vehicle importation into the country has again worsened as the biggest roll-on-roll-off terminal in the country, Ports & Terminal Multipurpose Limited expects just 1,050 units of vehicles in 11 days.
Vehicle dealers and importers in Nigeria have decried the scarcity of foreign exchange for the drop in imports, revenue, and value of importer vehicles.
