The Chief Executive Officer, Presidential Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative, Mr Michael Oluwagbemi, says 30,000 CNG conversion kits have been procured to be distributed to commercial drivers within 90 days.

Oluwagbemi added that the  CNG initiative which is cheaper, cleaner, safer and more reliable, was to ensure that commercial drivers would benefit from the palliative measure for transporters.

A former commissioner for Transportation in Lagos State, Dr Kayode Opeifa, said that the provision of conversion kits by the Federal Government was in keeping to its promise of easing the effects of fuel price increase, for transporters.

According to him, 150 beneficiaries will collect voucher for conversion which they will take to an installation centre, and would refill gas at N250 per kilogramme.
