Nigeria has unveiled a groundbreaking End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Recycling and Regulation initiative, aiming to transform its automotive industry into a greener and more sustainable sector. The initiative, launched on March 5, 2025, by Senator John Owan Enoh, Honourable Minister of State for Industry, sets a new standard for managing aging and abandoned vehicles, promoting a circular economy and enhancing road safety.

Speaking at the launch event, Senator Enoh emphasized the dual impact of the automotive industry on Nigeria’s economy and environment. “While our automotive sector contributes immensely to mobility, job creation, and economic growth, the improper disposal of old vehicles poses significant environmental and safety risks. This regulation will not only address these challenges but also create thousands of jobs in recycling and waste management,” he said.

The ELV initiative focuses on repurposing automotive waste into valuable resources, boosting employment by creating jobs in the recycling and auto parts industries, and systematically removing unsafe vehicles from Nigerian roads. The government expects the initiative to generate thousands of jobs and attract new investments into the recycling sector.

Environmental experts have praised the initiative, highlighting its potential to reduce pollution and promote sustainable practices. “Turning waste into wealth is the way forward. With proper implementation, Nigeria could become a leader in automotive recycling in Africa,” said environmental consultant Bisi Olawale.

This ambitious move aligns with Nigeria’s broader goals of economic diversification and sustainable development. Stakeholders in the automotive and recycling industries are encouraged to support the government’s vision for a cleaner, safer, and more efficient sector.
