The California Secretary of Transportation, Toks Omishakin, yesterday commended efforts to expand Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) infrastructure in Nigeria, describing it as a practical and timely solution to rising fuel costs and global energy challenges.
This came as the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Portland Gas Limited, Folajimi Mohammed, calls for maximum utilization of the country’s natural gas reserves.
Speaking during a visit to Portland Gas’ newly established CNG facility in Lagos, Omishakin said Nigeria must continue to explore alternative energy sources capable of making transportation and energy more affordable for citizens.
