Mr Akachukwu Nwokedi, president of the association, said, “We have no doubt that your role as a member of the policy advisory council set up by the president will be instrumental in charting a new trajectory in the country’s energy policy environment, and it is heartening to see that your efforts have been acknowledged at the highest levels of government.
“As Special Adviser on Energy, you have been tasked with a critical responsibility, and we are confident that you will excel in your new role.” he added.
Similarly, the association commended Dr Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma,Chairman of Innoson Group of Companies, for the successful launch of his locally produced IVM City Bus 6115, a wholly locally-assembled gas-powered (Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)) mass transit vehicles in Nigeria.
The association hailed Innosson’s feat as a remarkable achievement and a testament to the ingenuity of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing in producing vehicles that will run on natural gas, Nigeria’s most endowed natural resource, as the fuel of choice for transportation in the country.
