Information minister urges private sector to promote CNG

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris has said that the private sector has a leading role in actualizing the Federal Government initiative on Compressed Natural Gas in the country.
Idris stated this in Abuja at the inauguration of the ABG CNG Plant and graduation of 40 CNG Conversion Technicians.
A statement by the Special Assistant to the Minister on Media, Ibrahim Rabiu says the minister who described the effort of the ABG Group as noble and timely maintains that CNG has come to stay as a more cost-effective means of transportation.
He applauds the foresight of President Bola Tinubu in leading the way toward the adoption of the CNG as a dominant alternative to premium motor spirits in powering commercial and private vehicles.
“The CNG is the future and it is therefore important for Nigerian entrepreneurs to seize advantage of government policy on the CNG by investing in the human and material assets required to grow its infrastructure across Nigeria,” said Idris.
The Minister explained that the Federal Government has so far committed the sum of N100 billion in the first instance, towards the CNG.
The Chairman of the ABG Group, Alhaji Bawa Garba said the CNG is a clean energy solution requiring government support and patronage to become immersive and showcase Nigeria as a “Gas Nation.”
