About Auommaton
Our Genesis & Institutional Heritage
The Amalgamated Union of Motor Mechanics and Technicians of Nigeria (AUOMMATON) represents a landmark unification of Nigeria’s informal automotive trade and informal economy artisans.
A Unified Front for Automotive Artisans
Formed through a strategic merger of national bodies representing major mechanic associations—including the Nigeria Automobile Technicians Association (NATA) and the Lady Mechanic Association of Nigeria (LMAON)—AUOMMATON stands as the primary institutional voice for automotive technicians, artisans, and self-employed informal sector workers across the nation.
What We Do
Driving technical innovation, clean energy adoption, and vocational mastery through strategic execution across three key pillars:
Technical Upskilling & Certification
Upgrading traditional motor mechanics with modern diagnostic capabilities, electronic engine management, and standardized technical certifications.
Clean Energy & Technology Transfer
Leading Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) conversion programs and partnering with international manufacturers (like STAG Germany and VMPAUTO Russia) to introduce cutting-edge industry tools.
Grassroots & Youth Empowerment
Deploying proven vocational frameworks through the Lady Mechanic Initiative and N.A.T.A.’s nationwide network to create sustainable livelihoods and promote inclusive technical training.
