Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) has handed over five brand-new CNG-powered buses to the Nigerian Army as part of the Federal Government’s efforts to promote energy security and sustainability.
Gatekeepers News reports that the handover ceremony, which took place at the Nigerian Army Headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday, marks a significant milestone in the partnership between PCNGI and the Army.
According to the Program Director/Chief Executive of PCNGI, the Nigerian Army had led the way in adopting CNG technology about a year and six months ago, making itself available as a pilot institution for the initiative.
In addition to the buses, PCNGI also announced a comprehensive support package that includes:
• Free CNG conversion incentives for Army personnel vehicles, which includes the supply of free kits to Army Conversion Center and full participation of those centers in our Conversion Incentive Program to ensure 5,000 Army Personnel get their vehicles converted to CNG in the coming months.
• Dedicated daughter station allocation to serve military formations, and
• Capacity development programs to empower our soldiers and their families with technical skills and economic opportunities in the emerging green economy. Among others.
