Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Tinubu has mandated all government ministries, departments, and agencies to begin the procurement of compressed natural gas-powered vehicles.<\/p>\n

A statement by Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, said the policy was in line with his commitment to ensure energy security, drive utility, and cut high fuel costs.<\/p>\n

He said the directive is also in furtherance of Nigeria\u2019s effort to transition to cleaner energy as CNG-enabled vehicles have been adjudged to produce lower emissions, even as they present a more affordable alternative for Nigerian energy consumers.<\/p>\n

Addressing members of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, at the State House on Monday, President Tinubu affirmed that there is no turning back in the energy reforms initiated by his administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis nation will not progress forward if we continue to dance on the same spot. We have the will to drive the implementation of CNG adoption across the country, and we must set the example as public officials in leading the way to that prosperous future that we are working to achieve for our people. It starts with us, and in seeing that we are serious, Nigerians will follow our lead,\u201d the President stated.<\/p>\n

Tinubu further directed the rejection of all memos brought by members of FEC seeking the purchase of traditional petrol-dependent vehicles, tasking the affected members of the council to go back and diligently seek value-driven procurements of CNG-compliant vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President remains committed to effectively harnessing the nation\u2019s gas potential, alleviating the burden of high transportation costs on the masses while enhancing the standard of living of all Nigerians,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
