President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to commission the NASENI Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Conversion, Filling, Reverse Engineering and Training Centre in Utako, Abuja, on Friday, May 31, 2024.
This landmark event marks a significant milestone in NASENI's commitment to supporting the Federal Government's Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly in sustainable energy alternatives and a clean energy ecosystem.
The NASENI-Portland CNG Conversion and Training Centre, a partnership between NASENI and Portland Gas Limited, is a state-of-the-art facility for converting fossil fuel vehicles to CNG, a cleaner and more cost-effective alternative.
Equipped with the latest technology and staffed by highly trained professionals, the centre aims to build local capacity in CNG technology and promote the adoption of green energy solutions across the nation.
According to the Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of NASENI, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, the establishment of the NASENI-Portland Gas Reverse Engineering Centre marks a transformative moment for Nigeria's energy sector. "At NASENI, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and providing affordable, eco-friendly fuel alternatives to Nigerians," he said.
The CNG Centre is expected to significantly reduce vehicular emissions, contributing to cleaner air and a healthier environment. Additionally, the adoption of CNG will offer economic benefits by reducing fuel costs for consumers and creating new job opportunities in the Nigeria's green energy sector.
NASENI invites all stakeholders, from vehicle owners to industry professionals, to take advantage of the services and training opportunities available at the new centre. Together, we can drive forward a greener, more sustainable future for Nigeria.
Aligned with the Presidential directive on CNG (PCNGi), NASENI has demonstrated notable proficiency in automotive reverse engineering, exemplified by the successful local assembly of CNG kits.
