Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, has said that Vehicles in the Presidential Fleet and those of members of the Executive Council of the Federation would be converted to use gas as fuel.
Mr Sylva, who spoke with Premium Times in his office, on Wednesday, said the conversion of the vehicles to use compressed natural gas (CNG) is a step in his ministry’s plans to roll out the National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP) on November 30. He added that the government wants to end the reliance of Nigerians on petrol, which deregulation has pushed its price almost beyond the reach of many consumers.
