NADDC to Commission Electric Vehicle Charging Station at the UNN

In a monumental step towards embracing sustainable transportation solutions, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) is gearing up to inaugurate the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station on its campus.

Scheduled for commissioning on Thursday, August 17th, 2023, at 10:00 AM, this significant event marks the culmination of meticulous efforts in policy formulation, research, and academia-industry collaboration.

Situated at Eni Njoku along Abuja Road within the UNN campus, the NADDC-UNN Electric Vehicle Charging Station stands as a shining testament to Nigeria’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and adopting greener transportation alternatives.

Powered by solar energy, the charging station underscores NADDC’s unwavering dedication to fostering a nationwide transition towards environmentally conscious transportation systems.

The commissioning event promises to bring together a diverse array of stakeholders, including government officials, researchers, educators, and advocates of sustainable development. The ceremony will not only mark the official launch of the EV charging station but also symbolize a collective stride towards a more sustainable future for Nigeria.

The establishment of this charging station is part of NADDC’s broader vision, which has also led to the creation of similar facilities at Usmanu Danfodyo University Sokoto and the University of Lagos. These initiatives reflect NADDC’s proactive approach to driving change through strategic partnerships, research, and innovative technology.
