Sunday Aborisade in Abuja
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has secured a commitment from the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) to establish additional Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) filling stations across Kogi State, following growing complaints over acute gas shortages that have disrupted commercial transportation activities in the state.
The intervention came after commercial tricycle operators in Kogi Central Senatorial District raised concerns over the worsening scarcity of CNG, blaming the situation on the inadequacy of the lone filling station currently serving the area despite increasing adoption of the federal government’s clean energy programme.
