Nwokedi noted that the FG’s renewed interest in autogas is very apt, as it would accelerate the domestic adoption and utilisation of gas, a resource that the country is most endowed with.
“Gas for the transportation sector and for small generators, whether powered by Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), is one of the most affordable, available, safe, and reliable fuel that also substantially addresses global carbon emission concerns and the wellbeing of the environment.
Nwokedi said that the refocus on gas as an alternative fuel for passenger, mass transit vehicles and users of small generators will encourage and stimulate investment, promote capacity building, put more people to work, and engender safety and sustainability in the country’s responsible energy use while helping Nigeria meet her carbon emission reduction goal set before global environmental stakeholders in 2021.
“Gas is cleaner, safer and more reliable and should naturally be the fuel of first choice. We salute the steadfastness of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in his quest to return Nigeria to responsible and sustainable energy utilisation.
“The members of the NGA are very keen to support the implementation of the autogas policy and stand ready to commence the strategic engagements and enlightenment campaigns to make it happen,” he said.
