NADDC Launches Motor Dealer Registration in Nigeria

The National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) has commenced a nationwide registration program for motor dealers in Nigeria, beginning with the North-West region. This initiative aims to build a database that reflects the market's size, distribution, and operations, targeting members of the Association of Motor Dealers of Nigeria (AMDON) and other vehicle sellers.

The registration provides dealers with a verifiable business identity, enhancing their legitimacy within the automotive sector. Director-General Otunba Oluwemimo Joseph Osanipin, represented by Mr. Umar Nura Sidi, emphasized that the initiative would improve organization and visibility in the subsector, strengthen consumer confidence, and facilitate access to financial institutions and international suppliers.

The NADDC noted the North-West's strategic importance due to its commercial activities and regional trade role. AMDON’s National President, Prince Ajibola Adedoyin, expressed full support for the initiative, urging members to participate actively to foster collaboration between business owners and the government.
