The National Automotive Design and Development Council, NADDC, has expressed readiness to introduce a comprehensive “End-of-Life Vehicle” programme and stringent new checks on all imported used cars beginning from 2026.
Director General of NADDC, Mr. Oluwemimo Osanipin, disclosed this at a Media Parley with Commerce and Industry Correspondents’ Association of Nigeria, CICAN, on Friday in Abuja.
Osanipin described the proposed reforms as a critical step for environmental protection, public safety, and economic development, but warned they would initially face significant public “pushback.”
