Youth from the Otjozondjupa Region were engaged by the agency responsible for engaging in scholarships for Namibia's green hydrogen project.

All Namibians will enjoy the opportunities and benefits of the Green Hydrogen Project, as outlined in the Socio-Economic Development framework.

The framework was recently launched by the government in collaboration with the Hyphen Green Hydrogen Project.

Ammonia and hydrogen pollution, job opportunities for youth, and investment in the education and health sectors were among the issues raised with the Green Hydrogen Council during the Question and Answer session.

The Minister in the Office of the Presidency, Christine ||Hoebes has refuted allegations that the government's green hydrogen project is shrouded in secrecy.

||Hoebes says the allegations come despite extensive consultation between the head of state and the Green Hydrogen Council.

The Director General of the National Planning Commission, Obeth Kandjoze, says the town of Ludertiz will become a major potential employment creator once the green hydrogen project becomes operational.

Kandjoze was speaking at the launch of the NDP6 formulation process in Windhoek.
