This year’s NAJA Training/Capacity Building Workshop was held today at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Alausa, Ikeja, with support from Weststar Associates Limited, Stallion Motors, Toyota Nigeria Limited, and CFAO Motors.

Weststar, this year’s main sponsor, is Mercedes-general Benz’s distributor in Nigeria.

Weststar has already expressed strong interest in and support for the seventh installment of the series.

It’s not the first time Weststar has assisted with training.

Similarly, Stallion’s automotive division has consistently supported annual training.

The 2018 edition was co-sponsored by Stallion Motors and Nissan Motors South Africa.

Toyota Nigeria and CFAO Motors, franchise owners of the Mitsubishi and Suzuki brands in the country, are also sponsors.

Dr Oscar O. Odiboh, a mass communication lecturer at Covenant University in Ota, Ogun State, and Kunle Jaiyesimi, deputy managing director of CFAO Group and chair of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI) Auto & Allied sub-sectoral group, are key facilitators.

NAJA is a federation of automotive journalists who publish in both print and online. The training is an annual program designed to keep auto journalists current on global trends in the industry.
