The member representing Anambra East/West Federal Constituency, Hon. Peter Aniekwe has called on the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) to establish automobile workshop centres in his constituency.
The lawmaker made the appeal on Monday, August 11, 2025, during a courtesy visit to the NADDC Director General, Mr. Oluwemimo Osanipin.
Aniekwe said the initiative would help train and equip residents with practical automotive skills, noting that while the constituency is predominantly agrarian, it also has a significant number of vehicles in use.
“That Anambra is an oil-producing state, it is from my constituency, because we have gas in abundance,” Aniekwe stated. “We appeal that you help us train our people and build infrastructure to train them, because their needs are my concern. I am ready to contribute and facilitate anything possible to ensure that these workshop centres are created for my people.
“I want to make sure that before I finish my tenure, my people will see a difference. Our president cannot be everywhere; he can only do the one he can, but as lawmakers, we are here to help. Apart from making laws and oversight functions, we are also tasked with attracting development for our people.”
Responding, NADDC DG Osanipin described Anambra East/West as a strategic constituency and commended Aniekwe’s commitment to empowering his people through the proposed automobile workshop project.
