The Presidency said the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) will be rolled out on democracy day.
PCNGI Prog Director/Chief Executive Michael O. Oluwagbemi made this known in a statement on Wednesday.
Oluwagbemi explained that the initiative is part of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration’s commitment to fostering sustainable energy solutions and reducing carbon emissions.
He said there would be a series of activities leading up to the highly anticipated Nationwide Deployment Plan to be launched on May 29, 2024.
“These activities mark significant milestones in our journey towards achieving energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity for Nigeria. PCNGI is committed to fostering collaboration with all stakeholders as we pave the way for a cleaner, greener future,” Oluwagbemi said.
“These programs are a fulfillment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s promise to drive Nigeria’s energy transition in the transportation sector leveraging CNG and enabling economic growth.
“PCNGI is embarking on an extensive pre-launch itinerary aimed at engaging stakeholders, showcasing critical gas supply projects, and facilitating the conversion and refueling infrastructure across the nation.”
