PRESIDENT TINUBU MEETS NIPCO EXECUTIVES, COMMENDS INVESTMENTS IN THE CNG SECTOR
President Bola Tinubu thanked NIPCO for investing in Nigeriaās Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) sector during a meeting with the companyās executives at the State House in Abuja.
The President commended NIPCOās contributions to the nationās energy transition efforts, particularly its support for the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI).
During the meeting, President Tinubu acknowledged NIPCOās role as a critical player in enhancing the adoption of CNG as an alternative fuel, noting that such investments align with his administrationās energy security and economic diversification strategy.
He emphasised the importance of public-private partnerships in driving the transition to cleaner
and more affordable energy solutions for Nigerians.
The President lauded NIPCOās efforts in promoting and supporting the āSwitch to CNGā campaign, which has been instrumental in boosting public awareness and providing affordable CNG conversion kits even before the official kickoff of the Presidential CNG Initiative.
He highlighted the significance of this initiative in reducing the nationās reliance on petrol and cutting down fuel costs for consumers.
CNG, being a cleaner and more affordable fuel, reduces the carbon footprint and saves consumers significant fuel costs.
āNigeriaās motorists can buy petrol at N1,000 per litre or equivalent gas per Standard Cubic Meter at N200. We have also introduced incentives for commercial motorists to convert from petrol to gasā free of cost,ā President Tinubu said.
President Tinubu reaffirmed his administrationās commitment to providing a conducive environment for private sector investments and expanding Nigeriaās CNG infrastructure to enhance energy efficiency and economic growth.
He further encouraged NIPCO to continue its innovative approach to CNG expansion while supporting the governmentās broader goals in the energy sector.
Mr Ramesh Kasangra, NIPCO director, who led the delegation, thanked President Tinubu for his steadfast support of the CNG sector.
He expressed NIPCOās commitment to furthering the partnership with the government to ensure Nigeriaās energy transition remains on track.
He assured the president that the company was ready to invest in infrastructure to make CNG more accessible nationwide.
According to him, NIPCO has been a key player in various sectors of Nigeria for over four decades and will continue to believe in Nigeria for the long term.
