NADDC Partners With AFRICAR On Innovative New Qute City Taxi.  The Director General of the NADDC Mr. Jelani Aliyu, MFR, was represented by the Director, Industrial Infrastructure Department, Dr. Nua Omisanya, in delivering a welcome address at the launching of AFRICAR held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on 4th, April, 2022.  AFRICAR is a modern ride hailing service with dedicated vehicles which are built in Lagos, Nigeria by the Stallion Group.  Speaking at the event, The Honourable Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, appreciated the Stallion Group, a home-grown conglomerate, for adding value to the nation's economy for the past 52 years, thanking the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde for the welcoming environment that has been provided to AFRICAR.  According to the CEO of AFRICAR, Mr. Sahil Vaswani, all of the cars being used for the project are assembled in Lagos at the Stallion Group’s VON Plant.  He said AFRICAR, in partnership with the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), has developed the Bajaj Qute cars used for the new ride hailing taxi.  “This car is assembled in Nigeria by Nigerians and is environmentally friendly, with 50% lower carbon emissions than the average car”, he said.  Representing the Director General NADDC, Dr. Omisanya, disclosed that the objective of the Federal Government is that Nigeria becomes a hub for automotive manufacturing technology in Africa. In order to achieve this objective, the private sector has to play a pivotal role as the government provides an enabling environment, the  launching of “AFRICAR” which is of international standards is therefore a step in the right direction.   He added that the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) is a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, tasked with the responsibility to initiate, recommend, supervise and regulate policies and programmes for locally manufactured vehicles and components in Nigeria. Over the years, the Council has worked tirelessly to ensure the survival and growth of the Nigerian Automotive Industry, with a view to enhancing the industry's contribution to the national economy.  The newly introduced mode of transportation will enhance basic mobility for all, including visitors, easing mobility for students, workers and communities from various suburban areas to the city centre.  NADDC continues its unwavering dedication to the support of local automotive production, and also continues to promote some of the latest technologies being developed.
