Hon. Atuluku Victor Levi has identified Kogi State as a standout location for the implementation of Compressed Natural Gas, distinguishing it from other states in the country
This declaration was made during his recent visit to the office of the Programme Director for the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative in Abuja.
The purpose of the visit was to align the efforts of the ministry with the State Government’s plan to introduce and establish a Compressed Natural Gas station in Kogi State.
This initiative aims to mitigate the impact of rising petroleum prices on the population, especially considering Kogi State’s strategic location bordering several other states, making it a bustling business hub.
Hon. Atuluku Victor Levi assured the Programme Director, Engr Michael Oluwagbemi, of the Kogi State Government’s commitment to ensuring the successful implementation of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative in line with its original objectives.
Engr Michael Oluwagbemi, the Programme Director, warmly welcomed the Honorable Commissioner for Transportation and his Director of Administration, Alhaji Abu Omale, during their visit.
He expressed the readiness of the PCNGI to collaborate with the Kogi State Government through the Ministry of Transportation, which serves as the supervisory body regulating the transportation sector in the state.
Emphasising the pivotal role of Kogi State in Nigeria’s transportation network, Engr Michael Oluwagbemi highlighted the importance of this partnership in advancing the country’s transportation system.
