ANAMBRA INTRODUCES AUTOMOBILE PRODUCTION IN TECHNICAL SCHOOL CURRICULUM

The trio of Anambra State Government, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (IVM) and the Federal Polytechnic Oko on monday signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in which the students and teachers of the technical colleges around the state will begin learning the intricacies of designing automobile bodies and other elements of automobile engineering.
In the partnership which will last for 10 years, Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company will offer its auto production line for the benefit of the study, while their crop of auto engineers, designers and technicians will devote time in teaching and mentoring the engineering students. Also under the partnership, lecturers from the Federal Polytechnic, Oko will support the Innoson group with their own expertise and theoretical applications. The presence of these lecturers will heighten the academic and conceptual content of the programme and ensure a balanced and wholesome experience. Governor Willie Obiano revealed this in the IVM plant while signing the MOU. He also said that in the first phase of the Bridge Project, 493 students drawn from the 11 technical colleges in Anambra state will participate in the pilot programme. If successful then Anambra may well be on its way to become the first in the country to own a completely indigenous automobile manufacturing and assembly plant.



"Our objective here today is to expand the vision of one man so that it becomes the vision of a people. We have resolved to avoid the mistakes of the past when we lacked the foresight to harness the gifts and talents of today for the progress and prosperity of tomorrow. Ladies and gentlemen, the partnership we are cementing today is an important step in exploiting INDUSTRIALIZATION, which is one of the Four Pillars of my administration’s economic blueprint. The other three are Agriculture, Trade & Commerce and Oil & Gas" the Governor stated. You will recall that the world bank under the State Education Programme Investment Project (SEPIP) committed the sum of $2.1m to the project. In another developement, the state government has signed a $150m agreement with UDIPPCO for the construction of an 80 megawatts of electricity to feed the growing industrial city of Nnewi.

Igbos, especially (but not limited to) those of Anambra and Abia stock continue to prove themselves as the backbone of indigenous technologies in Nigeria.
Long live Igbo,
Long live SE (and Delta and Rivers Igbo)
Long Live SS Nigeria
Long Live Lagos (because of Igbos that make up 50% of its economy and population)
The rest of Nigeria would have to ...........

Good idea.

Damn!! Imagine if nigeria would have been if an Igbo man ruled us...just imagine.

..even China go dey fear us

Ihe aji abu onye Anambra erika erika.

To be an Onye Anambra is not a right but a priviledge because God dwells in Anambra that is why whenever the "The Drummer Boy" rolls out, the "Half of a Yellow Sun" shines so that "The light of the nation" will never dims because not even "The Foreign Gods" can "Bottle the Leopard" unless "Things aforluaa Apart"

The more they keep us down, the more everyone else is down. That is the irony of Nigeria

Thank God we are discovering efficient Igbo leaders like Obiano, Chime and many others, instead of the likes of TA Orji, Orji Kalu and others.

We shall get there, soon.

That's some sleek composition.

Great idea

I hope the kids will go on apprenticeship to innoson motors to acquire practical skills

Way to go

obiano as usual thinking out of d box

meanwhile eslewhere in SE d gov is busy bribing his way to d senate

Amazing!

May be we need more bank executives as governors

May be may Alex otti emerge in Abia!

This is what we have been asking for!

If this project can be maintained and adequately funded by the government and private sector; in about 10 years to come, Nigeria will become a world giant in the automobile industry and related sectors.

Igbo ndi e ji a ga mba

Mputa uwa ozokwa, chukwu oliseh mekwa m onye igbo o!(if i make it to this world again,GOD pls make me an igbo man)

I pray that this will be sustained. The teachers also need to be trained technologically, cos I believe that none of them have had such training in auto manufacturing and you can't give what you don't have.

There are a lot of Igbos around the world working as engineers with big auto manufactures

They should look at liaising with such people on a knowledge transfer partnership.

They can make it secret if necessary

This will be a good option for them to consider.

You are right. But if they call themselves qualified science/engineering teachers, at least they should be able to teach the physics, aerodynamics and engineering principles involved.

Trust me it's not that easy

Practical knowledge is practical knowledge

I give u example

There is something called CAR-LINE in automobile manufacturing. It is not taught in engineering schools whether in Nigeria or abroad.

If you are not in the system you just won't know and won't hear of it.

Now the principles of Cartesian co-ordinates apply to this in maths. But if you are not in vehicle engineering you just won't know about it.

This is where practical experience is different from text book knowledge.
