Across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, there is a palpable embrace of the transformative agenda set forth by President Bola Tinubu’s administration in the automotive industry.
At the heart of this movement is the active engagement and commitment of the Directorate-General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), ensuring that each zone plays a pivotal role in driving developmental initiatives forward.
With the six geopolitical zones actively involved in the training, the DG of NADDC, Joseph Osanipin, is fostering collaboration and innovation and promoting international best practices to propel the automotive sector into a new era of excellence.
This concerted effort is not only reshaping the industry but also empowering local automobile repairers to tackle modern challenges head-on.
In alignment with the Federal Government’s grassroots empowerment strategy, initiatives are underway to uplift communities and equip individuals with the skills needed to thrive in the automotive field.
A shining example of this endeavour was witnessed in Ekiti State, where 30 auto technicians recently underwent specialised training in modern automobile maintenance, courtesy of NADDC.
By establishing automotive training centres across the country, Osanipin noted that NADDC is redefining the landscape of the automotive sector, ensuring that technicians from all corners of Nigeria have access to cutting-edge skills and knowledge.
This comprehensive approach not only enhances the capabilities of technicians but also opens doors to new job opportunities and economic growth.
According to Osanipin, as technicians are empowered with modern technical skills, the ripple effects are felt beyond the confines of the workshop.
“Communities are safer, with skilled individuals less susceptible to the temptations of crime. Moreover, the vision of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, coupled with the tireless efforts of NADDC and the Federal Government, is laying the foundation for a vibrant and competitive automotive industry that serves as a beacon of progress for Nigeria and beyond,” he noted.
As word spreads of the opportunities afforded by NADDC’s training initiatives, enthusiasm among prospective trainees continues to grow.
From young apprentices eager to kickstart their careers to seasoned technicians seeking to refine their skills, individuals from all walks of life are flocking to NADDC’s training centres, hungry for knowledge and eager to seize the opportunities presented by the evolving automotive industry.
Moreover, NADDC’s commitment to inclusivity ensures that no one is left behind in the pursuit of skill development.
Specialised programmes cater to individuals with diverse backgrounds and abilities, empowering them to unlock their full potential and contribute meaningfully to the automotive sector’s growth.
Beyond the tangible benefits of skill acquisition, NADDC’s training initiatives instill a sense of pride and professionalism among participants.
Armed with newfound expertise, technicians emerge as ambassadors of change, driving innovation and excellence within their communities.
In essence, the transformative agenda championed by President Bola Tinubu’s administration finds its greatest ally in the form of NADDC.
Through its tireless efforts and unwavering commitment, NADDC is not only shaping the future of the automotive industry but also empowering individuals to realise their dreams and build a brighter tomorrow for Nigeria.
