March 19, 2025. The National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) has launched an initiative to promote the adoption of compressed natural gas (CNG) as a sustainable fuel alternative in Nigeria.
This initiative follows resolutions made at a one-day CNG Empowerment and Awareness Summit held in Owerri, the capital of Imo State.
The summit, themed “Building a Youth-Based Nation Through Cleaner Energy,” focused on educating and empowering local youths on the benefits and process of CNG adoption.
Speaking at the event, the NADDC Director General, Oluwemimo Joseph Osanipin, expressed his deep appreciation to the Imo State Government, particularly Governor Hope Uzodinma, for supporting this crucial initiative.
He explained that the objective of the summit was to educate the people of Imo State, particularly the youth, on the advantages of switching to CNG-powered vehicles.
According to him, the summit “is part of NADDC’s larger campaign to drive adoption and ensure safety and standardization in CNG usage.”
