The Director of Media and Publicity of the ADC-PCC, Kola Ologbondiyan, made the call during an interaction with ADC youth leaders in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

According to a statement by the management of Zeetin Technologies, the establishment of the factory is aimed at boosting the nation’s economy, through local production of tricycle and related products.
