"A Nigerian tariff on car imports aimed at boosting local production has reduced the number of vehicles brought into the country
this year by a quarter and fuelled smuggling from neighboring Benin, the ports authority said.
Car imports fell to 70,453 units in the first 10 months of this year (2017), a 26.8 percent reduction on the same period of 2016,
Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) figures showed.
The government imposed a 70 percent tariff on imported vehicles in December 2015 as part of attempts by President
Muhammadu Buhari to stimulate local production."
