Mr Olaoluwa Ogundipe, Principal Technical Assistant with the National Automotive Design and Development Council, has called on the Federal Government to ensure that Ajaokuta Steel company functions at full capacity.
Ogundipe told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the company had lot of steel metal that could be used for automobile industry.
“If Ajaokuta steel is functioning, there is possibility that we get the raw materials needed for automobile industry instead of the scraps that are being used now.
“The steel company holds the future of auto industry in Nigeria because when we talk of auto, two things are involved which are the plastics or metals.
“So the company holds the metals and metals carry almost 70 per cent of vehicles apart from the interior,’’ he said.
