Enoh said, “The minister of state for industry, trade and investment inaugurated an automotive training centre at the Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Ikorodu, Lagos. The centre was part of the government’s broader plan to strengthen the automotive industry and boost economic growth.

 

“The centre is one of 21 automotive training facilities nationwide, distributed across all geopolitical zones to ensure equitable access to skills development. Additional centres would be established to expand opportunities, stimulate economic activities, and reduce unemployment-related social challenges.”

 

The Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, described the automotive industry as the bedrock of industrial development. He noted that the center would allow trainees to use advanced diagnostic tools and service protocols similar to those in modern global workshops. He noted that the centre is built on three pillars: providing skills aligned with industry needs, setting standards to protect the public, and creating job opportunities.

 

The NADDC director general, Oluwemimo Osanipin, said the facility aligns with the National Automotive Industry Development Plan (NAIDP) and would provide hands-on training for artisans, engineers, and technicians, enhancing local content in assembled vehicles.

 

The council aims to create an environment for producing Nigerian-made vehicles that meet international standards.

 

The vice chancellor of LASUSTECH, Olumuyiwa Odusanya, expressed pride in hosting the centre and highlighted its role in concept design, prototyping, and commercialisation.

 

He said the university’s strategic IMPACT agenda aligns with the centre’s goals to foster competitiveness and innovation.
