“Nigerians, especially Northerners, are set to witness an energy transition and alternative energy from Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), if the invited foreign companies come on board,” he said.

The chairman noted that the project would be a great achievement for Nigeria and would be another milestone in the country’s development, especially in Northern region.

He also noted that the development would ease the biting economic hardship, especially in Northern Nigeria, occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy.

Mr Dan-Mallam also commended the effort of the NNPCL management for their tireless and unflinching support and encouragement to industry players to invest in various fuel substitution initiatives, CNG usage and conversion, Autogas, refineries and others.
