Anambra State is making a bold move to replace diesel with gas as the primary energy source for industries, a shift that industry leaders say could transform manufacturing in the region. The state government’s initiative aims to provide stable, affordable power to local businesses and reduce reliance on costly diesel generators.
Manufacturers in key hubs like Onitsha and Nnewi welcomed the development, highlighting that consistent energy supply is crucial for operations and competitiveness. Many believe that switching to gas will significantly lower production costs and encourage expansion.
The government is working with energy companies to ensure infrastructure is ready to meet industrial demand, while also fostering partnerships with manufacturers to make the transition smooth and efficient.
Experts say the move positions Anambra as a forward-thinking state for industrial growth, potentially attracting more investors and boosting the local economy.
