During an interview with Trust TV anchored on November 8, 2023, the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas initiative (P-CNGi) Programme Director, Engr Michael Olugbemi, shared five significant points regarding the implementation of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in Nigeria:
\n1. Government to Provide Incentives for CNG Purchase: “The Federal Government is set to introduce palliatives and incentives to encourage the adoption of CNG as a cleaner and more cost-effective fuel option.”
\n2. Annual Rollout of 11,500 CNG Buses and Tricycles: “As part of the CNG implementation plan, the government aims to introduce 11,500 CNG-powered buses and tricycles on a yearly basis, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly transportation system.”
\n3. CNG’s Role in Job Creation: “The widespread use of CNG is expected to open up new opportunities in the job market, particularly benefiting the country’s youth by generating employment prospects within the CNG industry.”
\n4. Enhanced Safety with CNG Vehicles: “CNG vehicles are noted for their safety features, especially in accidents. Unlike gasoline (PMS) vehicles, CNG vehicles are less prone to bursting into flames in the event of a collision, contributing to improved road safety.”
\n5. Conversion Costs for CNG Vehicles: “Converting existing vehicles to CNG operation will cost between 300,000 to 500,000 naira, depending on factors such as the type of conversion kits, engine specifications, and the make of the vehicle. This offers a viable pathway for vehicle owners to transition to CNG technology.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
