Speed Limiting Device Vendors Can Create 2m Jobs — Vendors by Osmondinho(m): 5:20am On Oct 21, 2016 |
…Seek import waivers The Chairman of Association of Accredited Speed Limiters Vendors in Nigeria, Alhaji Ibrahim Askirama, has disclosed that over two million jobs can be created by companies dealing on vehicle speed limiting device in the country in the next two years. Alhaji Askirama, who is also the Managing Disrector of Total Unique Services Limited, one of the accredited vendors for the distribution and installation of speed limiter in the country said that apart from saving lives, the introduction of speed limiters could help in creating jobs for the unemployed youths in the country. The speed limiter vendors boss, who spoke to Vanguard Motoring in Abuja shortly before the take off of advisory enforcement of speed limiting device by the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, said that his company alone had opened offices in 19 states of the federation and trained many young Nigerians on how to install speed-limiting device in vehicles. He disclosed that before most of their members ventured into vehicle speed limiting device business, some of them were into car tracking and software development business. According to him, his company alone, Total Unique Services Limited, was targetting creating of 50,000 jobs for the unemployed youths in the country. “When we started Total Unique Services, we were only seven engineers and we went to the road side mechanics, picked electrical engineers, technical graduates from universities, brought them to our company and trained them on how to install the device,” he said. So far, he said, his company had trained 10 engineers from every state. “We train them, licence them so that when there is problem, we can be contacted. This was the reason why we came together to guarantee standard and regularised by FRSC,” he said. Explaining the quality of speed limiter being installed by his members, Alhaji Askirama noted that they were mainly from European countries like United Kingdom, Germany and Italy, adding that with time most of the suppliers could set up plants in Nigeria. According to him, the search for vehicle speed-limiting device that meets FRSC specification was not easy as it took them to many countries. He said: “My search for standard speed-limiting device took my company to Kenya, a country that had used the device in Africa. But unfortunately, when we brought speed governor from Kenya, it did not meet the FRSC standard. “The speed limiter from Kenya was rejected by FRSC because in the case of accident, information could not be retrieved. We later went to India and their speed limiter made by Ecogas too did not meet FRSC standard. FRSC had insisted on speed limiter that can save information, print information through text messages or PDF. This made us to go to Italy where we got what they wanted a speed limiter that can print, said information and has in-built printer. It can even track the vehicle. Even in the event of an accident the device could indicate if the vehicle was over speeding. It is like a black box in an aircraft. We were directed to submit our speed limiters to Federal Road Safety Corps, Standard Orgnisation of Nigeria, SON, National Automative Design and Development Council, and Nigeria Society of Engineers, who would certify the standard of the device before it would be certified for use.” Mr. Askirama, however, noted that the prices of the speed limiters vary as some come with tracker starting from N35,000. But he said that the prices could come down drastically if they can access dollar at official rate. According to him, “We have told the Corps Marshal that if they want the price of speed limiter to drop, they should allow us to source dollar at official rate. We will install at the price we import”. Also, he said that the customs duty paid on the device is high at 35% and argued that since it is a life-saving device, the government should grant them waivers so as to make it available at very low price. The Chairman, who also spoke on the spider technology, said that there is nothing called spider technology, arguing that it was a coinage of a petitioner to the National Assembly. “He said, “The petitioner, probably wanted to say that there is a technology you can install that can pick the speed of the vehicle. But the question is, how do you trace the offender. The cameras use light, so when there is no light how do you pick the speed? Have you thought about vandalisation, and the fact that some people will remove the camera and install it in their home. This is a country where railway cables and telecom cables are dug out by vandals. How good are our roads? http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/10/speed-limiting-device-vendors-can-create-2m-jobs-vendors/

The company should know that installing speed limit in the north is dangerous. It will give more room for militants to attack and over run vehicles. My 8plug BMW 5series do not compact with speed limit installation. The human brain is enough speed limit device that works naturally even in super cars! 5 Likes 1 Share |

I don't really know how the speed limiting device works, can someone explain it to me? If a situation arises and some bad guys are after you and the only way to move fast is to run let say 165km/hr hope it's possible? |

After seeing an accident happen live last week friday involving a commercial bus, I now fully support the implementation of the speed limiting devices and the checking of tires of all vehicles on the roads (especially commercial). One second I was looking at a bus driving in the opposite direction, next second BOOM!!!! Bus is in the air, flipping and turning wildly, people being thrown out all open and broken widows, bodies spread across my lane of the road like spilled beans.. SO if these devices will save lives, I am all for it. 1 Like |

I wonder why our government officials are determined to suffer us in the name of saving us. what is the important of speed limiter on a bad road that no vehicle can run note than 80km/hr. as the traveled to Kenya ,itally etc, did they not see the type of road they drive on. number 2 is that if this will create job for over 2 million people,then who will be buying it as all of us are selling/fixing speed limiters. 1 Like |

Bad roads kill 10 times more than speeding over 120km/hr. The government have no right to permanently limit or speed even in a free or high way. What if I'm running from arm rubbers or boko haram or herdsmen so I have to be automatically limited to 110km/hr 1 Like |
