Commercial Vehicles Will Start Cars’ Conversion To Run On Gas – Osinbajo by TheRareGem1(f): 9:41am On Oct 06, 2020 |
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo says the plan by the Federal Government to convert cars of Nigerians to run on Compressed Natural Gas will start with commercial vehicles. He said the plan was already being experimented in Edo State where he said Dangote firm had converted all its trucks to run on gas. According to a statement on Monday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, the vice-president disclosed this during an interview he had with State House correspondents on Sunday. The statement was titled, ‘President understands pains of Nigerians, working out further palliatives -VP Osinbajo.’ Osinbajo was quoted as describing the plan as one of the strategies the Federal Government was adopting to make energy cheaper for Nigerians to carry out their daily activities. He said, “One of the ways is by using Compressed Natural Gas. Government is committed to do the conversion. First of all, we are starting with commercial vehicles. “Most commercial transporters will have the capacity to use both gas and petrol. That is already being done experimentally in Edo State. Dangote, for instance, has converted all his trucks to the use of CNG, and that is 4,000 or even more of those trucks. It is not a particularly difficult thing to do for the commercial transporters, it may be expensive for the individual but that is also part of the commitment of government, to be able to do the conversion, and the price of gas comes at about almost half the price of petrol.” The vice president said the government was involved in other ways to reduce the burden on Nigerians, saying nobody expected a downturn in the economic fortunes of the country occasioned by the fallouts of COVID-19 pandemic. https://punchng.com/commercial-vehicles-will-start-cars-conversion-to-run-on-gas-osinbajo/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1601971925

This is a good move However Government should just supply the Carbonator for free and let engineers do the conversion to make little income |

The thing this shallow govt doesnt get is that the price of every product is driven by demand in relationships to supply , if you move vehicles to the the limited gas supply market then the demand increases drastically leading to hikes in Gas price as demand outstrips supply ...You have not improved Nigerias Gas capacity and you want to drive a stampede demand there |

slivertongue: Like the Lagos-Abeokuta-Ibadan railway, the Kaduna-Abuja railway, the Ajaokuta-Itakpe-Warri railway, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Apapa-Oshodi-Iyana_Oworo expressway. You will weep for long. You have been weeping since 2015, you will weep beyond 2023. Up there, I have listed few of Buhari's projects, now list PDP 16 years projects apart from looting and sharing. |
