The Federal Government is boosting Nigeria’s automotive sector by building capacity for certified quality assurance assessors for Compressed Natural Gas operations under the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF).
The Director-General, National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Mr Joseph Osanipin, represented by his Director, Industrial Infrastructure, Dr Nua Omisanya, made the disclosure at the official closing of a two-week Quality Assurance Assessors Training for National Skills Qualifications (NSQs).
According to the director-general, the training will equip CNG experts who will ensure that automotive technicians across the country met nationally approved skill standards.
Osanipin said the training facilities would focus on areas such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) conversion, maintenance of Electric Vehicles (EVs), and modern diagnostic techniques.

“These are the new innovations in Nigeria’s automotive industry and we need more infrastructure and learning centers to be trained so that vehicles on our roads will be well-managed and well-maintained.Before the training, the industry had only 15 assessors, but the ongoing programme will add 30 more, raising the number to 45 in FCT and other states,” he said
