Auto Council to Open Vehicle Recycling Plant in Abuja

The National Automotive Council (NAC), Nigeria, is partnering with the Japanese government to set up an automobile recycling plant in Abuja.

The Director-General of NAC, Mr Aminu Jalal, who made this know to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recently, said the council was working with the Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA) and the Federal Capital Territory Administration to implement the plan.

 

“JICA has already paid for the feasibility study of the pilot plant. What delayed the project was obtaining land from the FCTA but we have now got the land,” he said.

 

Mr Jalal said the proposed plant would make use of junk and abandoned vehicles that constitute a nuisance to the environment, adding that the pilot plant would also serve as a training centre on automobile recycling for staff of the council and other relevant government agencies.
