Nigeria, Brazil partner on auto revival
To revive the country’ s ailing automobile sector, Nigeria is considering adopting the Brazilian revival strategy, which is knowledge-based.
The Brazilian automobile revival strategy has turned the country to one of the leading automobile producers in the world.
According to a report, the strategy, just as it was done in Brazil, is expected to involve the development of local manpower capacity in modern automobile technology, through the emergence of automotive engineering degree curriculum to fast-track the process of the revival.
Some top Brazilian automotive experts, who were in the country to assist Nigeria to develop the needed automotive engineering degree curriculum, said in Abuja, that a new up-to-date curriculum that would produce competent automotive engineers for the country would evolve from the partnership.
Already, a committee that would handle the curriculum development programme has been inaugurated.
The Director-General ,National Automotive Council (NAC), Aminu Jalal said: “While automotive technology has been progressing in leaps and bounds, such that no modern equipment represents the convergence of technologies like the automobile, our training of people to service, repair, design, manufacture and test vehicles has remained outdated.
“This is particularly so as our training of engineer disciplines still emphasises separate disciplines, without the convergence of mechanical, electrical and ICT in the new field of mechantronics.
“The National Automotive Council (NAC) is making efforts to reverse this trend, starting with the training of automotive mechanics. As a first step, we have undertaken a mechanic’ s skill gap assessement.
