See What Turkey Has Done, And Yet, Nigeria Is Still Sleeping!

Will our beloved and only country Nigeria ever wake up from its slumber and maximize the potentials that the Almighty God has endowed it with?

This question has become pertinent because Nigeria appears to still be in a slumber while her mates continue to make waves in different but critical areas of life.

The latest is that Turkish has come up with the prototype of a locally manufactured cable car.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on Friday, unveiled prototypes of the electric car that is hoped will hit the road within three years.

“Today we are witnessing together a historic day when Turkey’s 60-year-old dream is coming true,” Erdogan told a ceremony in the Kocaeli province in northwestern Turkey.

Turkey has a considerable auto manufacturing sector, but it mostly subsidiaries or partners of international carmakers.

“Turkey has become a country which is not only a market for new technologies but also a country which develops, produces and exports them to the world,” he said.

Two models were unveiled on Thursday, but five are planned with an autonomy of 500 kilometres (300 miles) on a full charge.

Production is expected to get underway in 2022 by a consortium of five Turkish industrial firms dubbed TOGG.

Some 175,000 vehicles are expected to roll off the production line per year at a factory to be built south of Istanbul in the city of Bursa.
