The Federal Government announced that 300 National Youth Service Corps members will be attached to compressed natural gas (CNG) conversion centers across Nigeria after completing training. Dr Titilope Gbadamosi, the Senior Special Assistant to the President, revealed this at the opening of the CNG Retrofitting Training Programme held at the NYSC FCT Orientation Camp in Abuja.
This initiative is part of the country's transition to CNG, aiming to retrofit 100,000 vehicles annually once fuel subsidies are removed in 2033. Gbadamosi noted that the National Automotive and Development Council will fund the certification process. The NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, highlighted the inter-agency collaboration and the scheme's support for the Renewed Hope Agenda under President Bola Tinubu.
The training is expected to create job opportunities and entrepreneurial prospects for the corps members, aligning with the agenda of embracing cheaper and sustainable energy sources.
