The NNPC Limited has handed over 35 Hybrid Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-Powered Buses to the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas (Pi-CNG).
Bashir Ojulari, Group CEO, NNPC Limited at the Event at the NNPC Towers on Monday, reiterated the Company’s commitment to support Federal Government’s Gas Aspirations.
Ojulari, in a Statement, said the move was in line with NNPC Limited’s efforts to drive the Adoption of CNG as a Cleaner, Cheaper and Sustainable Fuel Alternative.
He added that it had recorded significant progress on Gas Supply, Infrastructure, Distribution and Retail Outlets.
“I am proud that NNPC Limited is playing a pivotal Role in driving the Federal Government’s Gas Agenda towards Energy Transition,” the GCEO said.
Earlier, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, said the CNG Buses represented not just Vehicles, but serve as Instruments of Economic Relief, Social Equity, and Environmental Responsibility.
“They signal a Future where the Ordinary Nigerian can commute safely, affordably, and efficiently,” he added.
The Minister described the Initiative as a direct reflection of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
“It is a bold step to reduce the Cost of Transportation, lessen dependence on Petrol, and ensure the utilisation of the Nation’s abundant Natural Gas Resources for the benefit of the People,” he said.
Earlier in his Remarks, the Executive Vice President, Downstream, NNPC Limited, Mumuni Dagazau, said the Adoption of CNG as a Fuel Alternative had significant Economic Benefits for the Nation.
This, he said, was by reducing reliance on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and AGO as Automotive Fuels which also led to substantial Cost Savings and supported the Growth of Local Gas Industry.
In her remarks, the Managing Director of NNPC Foundation, Emmanuella Arukwe, said through the Initiative, NNPC Limited was advancing and shaping a new Energy Future that would purposefully serve People, Communities, and the Planet.
The Programme Coordinator/CEO, Presidential CNG Initiative, Michael Oluwagbemi, commended NNPC Limited for supporting the Initiative.
Oluwagbemi stressed that the Company had been a reliable Partner for the Initiative since its commencement.
