The Programme Coordinator, Regulatory, Compliance and Facilitator, Presidential Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative, ZAYYANU TAMBARI YABO, has revealed that the Federal Government would realise over three billion dollars in investment from the CNG conversion initiative.

YABO disclosed this while answering questions from newsmen at a stakeholder engagement on the CNG Conversion Initiative in Abuja.

According to him, about one million CNG vehicles would be produced by 2027 while 25,000 personnel would be trained and empowered on the CNG conversion programme.

While stressing the need to leverage the natural gas resources and transform them into energy that would drive the automotive wheels of Nigeria, YABO announced that some CNG conversion centres have already been established across the country.

He also solicited the support of all stakeholders, most especially in the transport sector, towards realising the objectives of the initiative in the country.
