Meanwhile, Car imports into Nigeria have shrunk in 2024 amid multiple challenges, including naira devaluation and high inflation.

The multiple challenges pushed the costs of vehicle imports up, and according to the foreign trade report recently released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the total value of passenger car imports fell from N1.47 trillion in 2023 to N1.26tn in 2024, a 14.3% drop.
