  1. The new Chinese faw truck assembly joint venture with lee company in Nigeria was a reaffirmation that Nigeria poised to become an automotive nub of Africa.Some factors working in favor of the country are , population, available local skill labor and unskilled , labor,strategical natural location of Nigeria to other African countries, labor cost,and available raw materials. Government at all level and company operating in the country has no business of importation vehicle any longer.The local make vehicle should be affordable to Nigerians and African at large and must meet international standard such that used vehicle buyer seen decline over the next few years.
