The director-general of the National Automotive Design and Development Council , Mr. Jelani Aliyu, has challenged auto technicians and mechanics in Nigeria to show keen interest in emerging technologies in the automotive industry to enable them keep abreast with the latest trends and stay in the competition.
“In recent times there has been outcry on the rising cases of road traffic crashes involving tankers, trailers and other heavy duty vehicles across the country with its attendant losses in human life and properties,” he said, adding that the NADDC decided to hold the training as part of its contribution toward solving the problem.
“Most heavy duty vehicles today are built with a lot of electronically controlled systems.
“With the completion of this training in Kano today, about 300 technicians drawn from the six geo-political zones are now better individuals with admirable skills in a very interesting and important sector which is the automotive sector,” he added.
