The Nigerian Gas Company (NGC) has told media that cars in Nigeria would soon start running on compressed natural gas (CNG), in response to escalating petrol costs.
Independent NG reports that NGC staff are in training in Argentina for establishing CNG refuelling stations, expected to be operation by the end of this year.
Chairman, Board of Director of the NGC, Solomon Agiemwonyi, is reported as saying that the first station will be established at Warri-Benin-Lagos Expressway.
He said in so doing, Nigeria would be following the footsteps of Pakistan where more than a million vehicles have been converted to CNG and 985 CNG stations are in operation with another 200 under construction in different parts of the country as at July, 2006.
