The National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) has revealed that the Federal Government established the Auto Industrial Park in Osogbo, Osun State, due to proximity to raw materials.
Mr Joseph Osanipin, Director-General of NADDC, made this known when he paid a courtesy call to Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State.
TheNewsZenith reports that the visit was on the sideline of the DG’s working visit to the site of the proposed park.
Osanipin identified Osun and Anambra States as strategic locations based on important factors such as logistics and nearness to natural resources.
He, therefore, reiterated the Council’s commitment to revitalise local production of auto component parts through the proposed industrial parks.
NADDC’s DG further stressed that the proposed Auto Industrial Park in Osun State stems from the need to create an enabling environment for the auto industry to thrive through infrastructure development.
According to him, this will enhance production capacity for both indigenous manufacturers of automobiles and auto components parts.
He highlighted the significance of Osogbo as a pivotal site for the auto park’s development.
