The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, TIMIPRE SYLVA, says the Federal Government will from October begin converting the cars and generators of Nigerians to run on gas.

SYLVA who disclosed this on a monitored program said this will be done free of charge for all Nigerians to cushion the effect of the hike in pump price of petrol.

The Minister added that cars are capable of running on both gas and petrol, and said the move would reduce carbon emissions as well as the demand for Premium Motor Spirit otherwise known as petrol.
