Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has unveiled plans to establish Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Bi-fuel conversion centers across the state.
The initiative aims to provide an alternative to Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) amid incessant price hikes following the federal government’s subsidy removal.
Fifty auto-technicians, trained in LNG/CNG Bi-fuel system conversion, graduated from the PAN Learning Centre in Kaduna State.
Governor Sule explained that the conversion centers will be built in the three senatorial zones, providing repair, maintenance, and manufacturing services.
This move will mitigate the suffering caused by PMS price hikes and promote environmental conservation through clean energy.
The governor emphasized the importance of clean energy, citing LNG, CNG, and electric vehicles as the future.
He commended the director general of the state’s Human Capital Development Agency, Habiba Balarabe-Suleiman, and the PAN Learning Centre for their efforts.
The trained auto-technicians were urged to take their jobs seriously, improving their livelihoods and contributing to society.
The Nigerian Automobile Technicians Association chairman, Shuaibu Abdullahi, praised the state government for the training opportunity.
The director general of the Nasarawa State Human Capital Development Agency highlighted the initiative’s goal of equipping trainees with expertise in converting vehicles to LNG and CNG using advanced auto gas bi-fuel systems.
