President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed optimism that with the new automotive policy Nigeria will soon be exporting cars to other countries.
The President was speaking while receiving in audience, a delegation of business community from Anambra State led by the state governor, Peter Obi, at the Presidential Villa,.
This is even as he stated that if Nigeria must become great as expected by all, the Federal Government must industrialise.
According to the President the basic needs of industrialists’ such as road, power and port would be addressed appropriately.
He said “We are totally committed to creating jobs. Nigeria is a country with huge population of youths. If jobs are not created, there will be crisis. The housing, agriculture and power sectors are also receiving attention.
“In the next few years, Nigeria will begin to export cars to other countries. We are encouraging government to support local manufacturers.”
He added that “If any country will be great, we must industrialise. If Nigeria must be a great country, we must industrialise. To this end, we will continue to encourage industrialists in Anambra,”
