The Federal Government, on Thursday, said the conversion of petrol and diesel-powered commercial vehicles to run on Compressed Natural Gas is going to be free of charge.
The Programme Director/Chief Executive, Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, Michael Oluwagbemi, disclosed this to journalists after the government agency signed agreements with various companies involved in the conversion of petrol and diesel-powered vehicles to operating on CNG.
He said commercial transporters under their different unions, including the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, National Union of Road Transport Workers, and Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners, among others, would benefit from this.
The PCNGI director also disclosed that the second group of commercial transporters were the ride-share operators.
Oluwagbemi said through the implementation of this programme, Nigerians would start paying less for transportation.
