Toyota Nigeria Limited has entered a new phase in its after-sale as they launched its official service centre in Oshodi area of Lagos State.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo SAN on Monday, 21st March 2022 commissioned the Toyota Service Centre Commissioned in Oshodi, Lagos State.
The state-of-the-art facility built by Toyota Nigeria Limited is described as a legacy project comprising a standard showroom, a collision repair centre, a general repair workshop with sophisticated equipment and a spare parts warehouse.
Osinbajo said with the level of sophistication and deployment of modern technology at the facility, the centre stands out as a milestone achievement that would contribute immensely to the development of the auto industry and the nation’s economy.
He said, “I must confess to being quite fascinated by the multiple resources and outcomes that this facility possesses and is designed to achieve.
“It is not merely a service centre for providing quality after-sale service (although we are told that is one of the objectives for establishing it), it is actually developed as a teaching, research and resource centre, to provide dealers with world-class, practical hands-on training.”
The VP said the capacity building aspect of the facility tallied with a number of skill acquisition and empowerment schemes of the Federal Government for young Nigerians.
“This year also, the Nigeria Jubilee Fellows Programme will begin. Every year under the programme, 20,000 graduates, after their youth service, will be given fully-paid internships that will last for 12 months in reputable private and public sector organisations across the country such as Toyota Nigeria Limited.
According to him, part of the duties of government is to provide the fertile ground and enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
He commended the TNL team led by its chairman, Chief Michael Ade-Ojo for the visionary project.
