Kaduna — Auto dealership in Nigeria has created over seven million jobs, President of the Motor Dealers Association of Nigeria, Mr. Ben Ogwumu, has said.

Mr. Ogwumu said this at a seminar organized by the National Automotive Council in Kaduna. The seminar was meant to discuss guidelines for licensing dealers and importers for sale of vehicles. He said the guidelines drafted by the council were stringent, but that auto dealers will make efforts to comply with them. He said the new guidelines should among other things include inputs from the association and the need to ensure that only new motor dealers are made to stock auto spare parts while used vehicles should not attract warranty.
