Focus on component development, NADDC DG tells auto players at NAJA awards
Key players in the nation’s automotive industry have been challenged to focus more on automotive component development and integration in assembly operations.
Director General, National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Mr Joseph Osanipin, stated this in Lagos.
He disclosed this as a special guest at the 2023 Nigeria Auto Journalists Association (NAJA) Awards held on Thursday 14th December at Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
He said, “Today, we are here to celebrate. However we need to challenge ourselves with the future of the Nigerian automotive industry.
“We need to take the necessary steps to make these changes. It starts with us; we are the ones to determine where the automotive sector will be heading in Nigeria.”
Osanipin seized the opportunity to applaud NAJA for standing firm in promoting the local auto industry.
He urged the organisers to consider component manufacturers in future NAJA award projects.
Over 29 persons and companies who have distinguished themselves in the industry were specially recognised and honoured in different award categories.
