During an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Friday, Mr. Ndume, who represents Borno South in the Senate, pointed out that many of the vehicles labeled as “made-in-Nigeria” are actually only assembled in the country.

He said: “The reason why we did not choose Nigerian-made cars is because they don’t manufacture their vehicles, but they assemble them.

“I prefer Nigerian-made products, but the Nigerian car companies are only buying the vehicle parts and assembling them here.”
