The Nation Newspaper CNG initiative to roll out before Tinubu's first anniversary, says Presidency
The presidency has revealed that the Presidential CNG Initiative , which was launched in October 2023, is set to deliver compressed natural gas for mass transit, ahead of the first anniversary of the Bola Tinubu administration.
“With necessary tax and duty waivers approved by President Tinubu in December 2023, the PCNGI committee is partnering with the private sector to deliver the promise on the initiative. The private sector has responded with over $50 million in actual investments in refuelling stations, conversion centres, and mother stations.
“Natural gas vehicles reduce tailpipe emission by up to 40 percent, and Nigeria’s commitment to this course will enable her to meet her nationally determined commitments under the Paris Climate Accord to which we are signatories. “Brilliant EV will assemble electric vehicles. It is awaiting the SKD parts, which will arrive in due course. The electric vehicles it will produce are meant for states such as Kano and Borno, which do not have access to CNG for now.“They will also be available in key Nigerian cities and university campuses.
“As part of private sector collaboration, NIPCO and BOVAS are involved in offering refilling services for the CNG vehicles and also serving as conversion centres. NIPCO is setting up 32 stations nationwide to offer the services. The company has completed the set-up of four of the CNG stations.
