Haruna explained in detail the objectives behind the industrial parks.

He added, “The project initiative is in line with the concept of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment which initially proposed establishing the Automotive Supplier Industrial Park (ASIP) in these three locations in the country for technology evolution in the automotive sector.

“This is in line with the mandate of NASENI for provision and development of primary and intermediate capital projects required for machine and equipment design, fabrication, and mass production, in order to provide the enabling environment for sustainable industrialization of the country.

“The project is being supervised for NASENI by the Hydraulic Equipment Development Institute (HEDI) Kano, an institute of NASENI for the Agency.

“The project is intended to unlock the opportunities in the auto sector as well as potentials in the manufacturing industry with a view of creating employment, skilled labour in this region and sub-Saharan Africa. It will earn foreign exchange for the country and stop importation of vehicle spare parts.

“Major vehicle manufacturers from different countries have indicated interest to operate from this facility. It is also intended to provide the Nigerian Army Vehicle Manufacturing Company with the necessary support in the production of armoured vehicles.”

 “We also appreciate the Nigerian Air Force for the collaboration and provision of adequate site policing and security since the commencement of the construction work.

“Work in the phase one of the project comprising perimeter fencing, construction of information and communication building, construction of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) workshop, construction of Automotive Spare Parts, sales and services outlet are all above eighty-five percent (85%). “Completion of phase one of the project within the next few weeks will enable commissioning and commencement of operation which can run concurrently with development works in phase two of the project.”

The AFIT commandant, AVM Paul Jemitola, said the institute was ready to collaborate with NASENI.

He promised to maximize the benefits of the cooperation for the betterment of all stakeholders.

He said, “NASENI had been instrumental to so many things even here in AFIT. As such, we will maximize the cooperation to the fullest. We will study the MoU and make the best out of it. NASENI can count on our 110 per cent support and cooperation.”
