Ghosn made this revelation while speaking at an interactive session with President Jonathan at the ongoing World Economic Forum holding at Davos, Switzerland.
He said the cars would be produced at the Old Volkswagen assembly plant situated in Lagos and that a total of two to three million cars is expected to be produced from the plant annually.
"We are interested in producing popular cars, totally adapted to the needs of Nigerians" Gbosn said while speaking with President Jonathan.He said one of the goals of producing in Nigeria is to help reduce unemployment rate in the country.
We are waitingooo,talk is cheap.

DeleteBona... you're splitting hairs here.

ReplyDeleteAt 12.04-And I am sorry for anyone who hires you for a job simply for being Nigerian
DeleteAt anon 2:32 - Well said. I just can't stand pessimistic people
DeleteThis is a commendable initiative. The Nigerian populace is watching, April is around the corner...
ReplyDeleteI can now see that naija politicians are a bunch of dull heads, Nissan is not a Nigerian company, so even if they export the cars from Naija its not made in Naija as long as its a foreign company building it.
ReplyDeleteMy God!
DeleteYOU ARE DUMB!!!
You are soon dumb.. it is a nigerian made car
DeleteI agree...u're dumb. There's no better explanation
DeleteSounds good and welcome but at what cost will d vehicle be delivered. So that d poor can afford it.
ReplyDelete"adapted to the needs of Nigerians" that means it's going to be cheap and the quality will be as inferior as inferiority complex
DeleteKudos to President Jonathan,he has been laying a solid business foundation in Nigeria.If there was no real economic growth in Nigeria,the West will not be seeking for investment oppurtunities in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteAs dumb as your father na ogun go bathe with all of una blood
DeleteO boy, I pray it will work like dat ooooo bigerians needs work seriously, poorverty is realy drain us ooooo
ReplyDeleteMy dear @least if it works out pple will be employed directly or indirectly

ReplyDeleteHalleluja Kudos to the reduction of unemplyment stuff.
ReplyDeleteLMAO! MADE IN NIGERIA CAR? U KIDDING RIGHT? EVEN NIGERIANS ARE SENSITISED ENUF TO KNW DAT BUYING A MADE IN NIGERIA CAR IS TANTAMOUNT 2BUYIN UR OWN DEATH CUS OUR PRODUCTS ARE ALWYS SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS AND WE CANT HELP IT NOMATA D ROSY PICTURE WE PAINT.NIGERIA'S A DUMPING GROUND 4EUROPEANS 4CRYING OUT LOUD...NEWAIZ,ITS STILL A WELCOME DEVELOPMENT 4PPLE IN KENYA,CONGO,COTONOU AND ODA 4TH WORLD DEVELOPING COUNTRIES SHA.
ReplyDeleteBabes, Pegeot, Volks and Mercedes all had plants in Nigeria (Volks Lagos, PAN Kaduna and Anamco Enu). The cars they made are still being driven in Nigeria and beyond, 20 to 30 years after. Somethings could be bad in Nigeria but certainly not EVERYTHING.
DeleteCurrently also, Innoson is making cars at IVM plant Nnewi and their cars are comparable to its counterparts from Korea (the Kias and Hyundais). They even compete with some other cars like the Scoda. It takes the WILL to make things right in Nigeria.
Deletetotal rubbish...
ReplyDeleteKeep bashing your country you dumb ass. If you can't see anything good in Nigeria I wonder if its the foreigners that will. Charity begins at home. You should welcome this new development and support it.
DeleteThat will be nice, if it will work out here christy
ReplyDeleteISSOKAY

ReplyDeleteThat is nice, and others should follow suit in other area of the economy, and they are all persistent, who says Nigeria will not rub shoulders with the G8s.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Let's learn to appreciate for once and commend a good thing.
ReplyDeleteApril fool!
ReplyDeleteNyc..
ReplyDeleteyou say made in Nigeria cars is like signing your death warrant but i'm so sorry for shallow minded people who says that.1st of all let me ask such people what has any 1from your family invented and what have you personally invented or can invent? If you can answer this question and give a valid proof that what you have made is good then i will rest my case but for God sake those who did make cars in NIgeria have done well and i'm proud as a Nigerian that someone even with oureconomic situation could do that.As concerning made inNigeriacars i can bolly tell you that its the same quality as a korean car because i rode one from innoson motors and i can asure you that they did a great job.
ReplyDeleteMr president is a joker,hez bin unable to fix nepa now na car remain 4 him mata?dose cars should first b used by him$his ministers.RUBBISH
ReplyDeleteY April...? Hop its nt gona b April fool...lolz
ReplyDeleteThat's gr8 news for Nigeria and a plus for jonathan. It means employment for our youth. Please Nigerians let us be positive.
ReplyDeleteIrrespective of the fact that this is a development over due its welcome, I can't help but think of the side effects of the industrialization of Nigeria; pollution and earthquakes. God save us all. Hilary Obiorah

Nigerians? Someone has decided to come invest in your country so that your mechanical engineers, electrical engineers , Nigerians will have jobs , daily bread brothers and sisters , you will still bring your rat mouth and be talking nonsense, the person know say light no dey YES! bad roads YES! the person know MUMU ! Nissan decided to assemble their production here and provide Logistics jobs, chain and supply jobs, cleaning jobs, driver jobs for less educated people , provide contracts but, you guyz just come to LIB and talk nonsense I think Linda needs to start verifying age here so that we have have some more matured audience here BIKO!SMH!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first comment on this blog after being in lurking mode for several years. For those who think the cars made in Nigeria will be sub standard,. I would like to pose a question? Do you get foreigners to fix your cars currently when they break down? Nigerians as a people are very resource full and very knowledgeable. Some cars that still run in Nigeria should have been relegated to the scrap heap decades ago and yet Nigerian mechanics are able to fix them and get them to still run. This is a commendable development if it is true. Perhaps Nigeria will get back some of her lost glory in the manufacturing secror. For those of you who are too young to remember, Nigeria used to have several car brands made ( assembled in Nigeria) . Those cars were Peugeot, and Volkswagon cars.
ReplyDeleteGEJ 2015!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't rejoice yet oo cos u guys r not looking deep do u no d automotive policy where de will increase tax fr imported cars by 70%? Knocking jobs fr d small scale car dealers I.e throwing many guys outta job in d name of creating employment...my dear pep all dis na for election oo
ReplyDeleteWelcome initiative... This is the sort of thing we want in Nigeria..
ReplyDeletediz cars r nt MADE IN NIGERIA @ all....dis is simply called ASSEMBLED IN NIGERIA cx ol d equipment dat will b use r nt produced in nigeria....lets pray 4 a beta country...GOD BLESS!!!
ReplyDeleteFew say so *via B.A.G*
Will it make a 2014 Xterra sell for N1.5m, if not story story.
ReplyDeleteCan the plant/factory have 100% Nigerian staff... Only then it makes sense
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ReplyDeleteI have been a frequent "lurking" visitor to this blog for many years but never really made a comment, and would like to come out of lurk mode to point out that Nigeria used to have at least two car assembly plants in the eighties. They were Peugeot and Volkswagen. If this announcement is true, then it is a welcome one as it signifies Nigeria may be on her way to regaining some of her lost glory. For those who think the cars would be unsafe, do you have your current cars serviced by foreign mechanics? Nigeria has some of the most ingenious and mechanically savvy people of any place. Some cars that are still on the road would have been relegated to the scrap yard in most countries. Where in the world except maybe Cuba do people drive cars that are thirty forty years old and still able to patch them up. Even the so called village mechanic knows a thing or two about cars. Do not discount a made in Nigeria car!!!
ReplyDeleteRole out.....this Linda is so razz,nnewi grammar school things
ReplyDeleteWhy are u been so negative,use ur brain 4 once bcs d making of those car in Nigeria will provide employment 4 ur family members also. Bcs I know u have lost of unemployed people in ur family. Mr _melvin- say so.
