The National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) has announced the establishment of essential structures and frameworks to commence the local production of vehicle spare parts in Nigeria.
This move is expected to significantly reduce the country’s dependence on imports, which currently cost over $1 billion annually.
The Director General of the NADDC, Joseph Osanipin, revealed this during the conclusion of a two-week automotive engineering and software design training held in Abuja.
The training, organized in collaboration with Midas IT Co. of South Korea, focused on equipping engineers with expertise in using Midas NFX software, a cutting-edge platform for advanced design and analysis.
Representing the Director General, the NADDC’s Director of Research, Design, and Development, Fidelis Achiv, emphasized the council’s commitment to transforming Nigeria’s automotive industry.
