Nigeria must pass a clear automotive law to grow its local auto industry, create jobs, and gain investor trust, the African Association of Automotive Manufacturers (AAAM) said Tuesday.

Speaking at the Second Nigeria Auto Industry Summit in Lagos, AAAM’s CEO Victoria Backhaus-Jerling said the lack of firm policy leaves Nigeria open to floods of used car imports. “Nigeria has the scale, talent, and spirit to lead Africa’s auto future, but policy certainty is key,” she said.

She pointed to success stories in Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, and Ghana. “With the right law, Nigeria can go even further,” she added. The AAAM, she said, helps governments shape strong laws, unlock investment, and build cross-border value chains through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) agreed. Assistant Corps Marshal Ann Oladayo, who represented FRSC Chief Shehu Mohammed, said road safety, vehicle quality, and local production must go hand in hand. “We are ready to support smart policies that save lives and build industries,” she said.

Also speaking at the event, Theodore Opara, NAJA Chairman urged Nigeria to reduce imports and make more car parts locally. “We can’t keep importing tyres and brake pads,” he said. He stressed that the country’s raw materials and large youth population are key to a self-sufficient auto industry. Past summit plans, he noted, have already been sent to lawmakers for follow-up.
