The Nigerian Gas Association (NGA) has called on the Nigerian government to implement a transportation policy mandating the use of gas-powered vehicles for public transportation, which can also be extended to government activities.
It is also a policy that can be adopted at state and local government levels.
The formal adoption of such a policy will at the same time promote cleaner energy sources, align with the sustainability goals of the Nigerian government, help reduce the nation’s reliance on traditional fuels and attract the necessary investment in downstream infrastructure that will create jobs and domesticate technology while facilitating successful implementation.
The NGA commended the government’s incremental adoption of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for transportation and emphasised the importance of sustaining the momentum.
