In celebration of World Environment Day 2024, the Association of Compressed Natural Gas Dealers of Nigeria (ACNGDN) is proudly reaffirming its unwavering commitment to promoting the widespread adoption of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a cleaner, safer, and more economical alternative to traditional fuels.
According to Mr. Bukola Badejo-Okusanya, the chairman of ACNGDN; this year’s theme, “Land Restoration, Desertification & Drought Resilience – We are #GenerationRestoration,” resonates deeply with our mission to foster a sustainable and healthy environment.
Under his leadership the association has grown from a conceptual idea into a tangible force for positive change. He underscores the significance of this initiative, stating that the establishment of the association is a strategic move to differentiate the group from other natural gas groups and to garner crucial government support through intervention funds and reduced pricing of raw materials.
He further emphasized that such support will directly benefit consumers, reinforcing the association’s collective commitment to affordability and accessibility as well as fostering unity within the industry.
As part of the global celebration of World Environment Day, the association is dedicated to strengthening interactions with stakeholders and promoting CNG as the preferred alternative fuel for consumers. CNG is renowned for its environmental benefits, emitting significantly fewer harmful emissions compared to traditional fossil fuels, thereby contributing to the fight against climate change and supporting the global goal of land restoration.
This reduction in pollutants not only fosters a healthier environment but also aligns with global efforts to combat desertification and enhance drought resilience. Furthermore, CNG offers substantial economic advantages, with the potential for savings of up to 50% compared to conventional fuels. These cost efficiencies make CNG an attractive and financially prudent choice for Nigerian families and businesses alike.
Aligned with its mission, the Association is dedicated to raising public awareness about the benefits and safe utilization of CNG. Through targeted educational campaigns and outreach initiatives, the association aims to provide accurate information, dispel misconceptions, and foster a deeper understanding of how CNG positively impacts Nigeria's energy landscape.
The association remains steadfast in its dedication to collaborative efforts with the government and other stakeholders to review and bolster policies and practices within the CNG industry. By fostering dialogue and sharing expertise, the Association of Compressed Natural Gas Dealers of Nigeria seeks to ensure the continued safety and prosperity of Nigeria’s energy sector, contributing to the broader global movement of #GenerationRestoration.
Join us in celebrating World Environment Day 2024 by supporting cleaner energy solutions and committing to the restoration and resilience of our precious lands. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our environment and secure a sustainable future for generations to come.
