Kwara State government has launched the conversion and installation of the first Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles in the state.

Speaking at the official launch of the Rolling Energy station doing the conversion in Ilorin, the state governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq said that the state government has converted twenty of its petrol-engine vehicles to natural gas vehicles.

According to him, the exercise is an offshoot of excessive reliance of petrol judiciously corrected by President Bola Tinubu when he removed the oil subsidy.

AbdulRazq explained that this is the direct benefit of oil subsidy removal, adding that between last year and now, the president has given backing to natural gas over petrol.

He noted that the exercise would create more jobs for the youths, adding that the conversion is safer and cheaper.

In his remarks , the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rolling Energy, Mubarak Danbata, urged all to embrace the Presidential Conversion of Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGi) .

He said the station is capable of converting six petrol vehicles to CNG daily.
