The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, says the Federal Government will from October begin converting the cars and generators of Nigerians to run on gas.

Sylva said this will be done free of charge for all Nigerians to cushion the effect of the hike in pump price of petrol.

The minister said this on NTA’s ‘Good Morning Nigeria’ on Monday which was monitored by our reporter.
According to him, cars are capable of running on both gas and petrol.

The minister said the move would reduce carbon emissions as well as the demand for Premium Motor Spirit otherwise known as petrol.

Sylva stated, “The alternative we are now introducing is gas, which is definitely going to be cheaper than the subsidised rate of PMS. So, what we are trying to encourage Nigerians to do now is to Punch Newspapers – The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria logo

Sylva stated, “The alternative we are now introducing is gas, which is definitely going to be cheaper than the subsidised rate of PMS. So, what we are trying to encourage Nigerians to do now is to convert their cars to dual fuel.

That means your car can use either gas or petrol and that will be done for free because the government is going to ensure that you are able to convert your vehicles for free.

“And when you convert your car for free, you go to the filling station, you see the price of PMS (Premium Motor Spirit) you see the price of gas, you can decide to buy LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), you can decide to buy LNG (Liquefied Natural gas). These are all going to be available and we are going to have a roll out plan for this within October. their cars to dual fuel.
Nigerians will have alternatives. It is like introducing a toll on the roads. When you introduce a tollgate, you are expected and required by law to also create an alternative. So, we are also creating that alternative so that you can go to buy gas.
Sylva said the Federal Government launched a similar pilot scheme with commercial tricycles in Port Harcourt which they converted to gas and it was successful.

He said the initiative would be extended to small capacity generators colloquially known as ‘I better pass my neighbour’.
The former Governor of Bayelsa State stated that filling stations owned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation would be the first to begin selling gas to vehicles.

Sylva said the use of gas is cleaner and climate friendly, adding that once this is achieved, Nigeria would receive funding from foreign donors.

He said, “We are going to convert ‘I better pass my neighbour’. So, you will have a situation where in your house, your gas cylinder will be connected to your generator and cooker. So, you don’t need any other fuel apart from gas to run your generators.Punch Newspapers – The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria logo

“It will become cheaper and cleaner. Of course, our carbon emissions will actually reduce and we are expecting to gain some money from climate change (sic) for reducing our carbon emission. This is going to be a policy direction that will create a lot of opportunities.”

He said all NNPC filling stations and also some private sector marketers had signed on to the initiative, adding that the scheme would start in one part of the country and then spread to others.
When asked how Nigeria could benefit from the free initiative, Sylva responded, “Your car should be in a fairly good condition. That is the only condition to be met because if your car is not in a very good condition, I don’t know how it is going to convert. We are already in discussion with the NURTW and they are already very happy,” the minister said.. Source : Punchng.com


Oga minister, you don't need to talk too much. Action is all we need this point in time. I advise you to go build LPG filling station all over Nigeria. When u do that.. You will see LPG cars coming to Nigeria.. Guys do see it overseas but can't bring it to Nigeria but we don't have LPG stations.

socialmediaman:
That’s about the same thing people pay abroad, but the cost of living is not the same. One month rent abroad can pay one whole year rent in Nigeria and one or two months salary abroad could be a whole year salary for people in Nigeria, so why should people pay the same as their counterparts abroad?

Nobody pays that in abroad. Make some research about it and get back to us.. It's impossible for someone to pay that. , here in South Korea.. We have all that at home yet we pays about $50 .. Then check the minimum wage of this country and Nigeria own.. 9ja com finally cast..

Maybe the villagers mined one or two skulls of their employees, so they ran.

Oga, what re you saying.. Why re you sending the product in China to finish before exporting to USA. Are you sure you merit your position? Cant you finish the product in Nigeria and negotiate business with American company direct than going through Chinese.. Is Nigeria also at war with America �� ? Abeg change your business mind and move forward.

muykem:
This means APC was actually right to have disqualified him. We need to look at issue critically without sentiments, if there's nothing wrong with the first one, he will not have reason to seek for second one.

Are you ok at all , its just mistake of spelling kinda typing error which could happen to anyone and still happening as much as it’s human made that’s why it can be corrected . Leave sentiment and be honest

Zino990:
Seriously how much

Is there any part of the world using park is free. It's another way to make money and as well for people in the area to see where to enjoy them selves with a good site seeing .. No free park even in a developed countries

See what cost of MB is coursing here, many people here didn't play the video because of lack of MB and they just capitalise on other's mistake to believe it's $40m when the actual amount is #40m naira.. Nawaoo. Let's stop being sentiment and be logical. Both may have one truth of the other and ine lie or the other.. When you feel cheated go to court. That's how it's done in developed counties you guys have been to.

Dis whole story be like water water garri for hand..e no dey enter hand well.

My dear all this is Chinese lie lie , as I’m typing this message now ‘m those people is still been held in the hotel room called quarantine with the room been locked from outside . Only open when come to give them food . They release those that have valid visa and kept those with invalid visa .. ais visa now corona or corona be came visa ? Some are married to Chinese .. why then their wives aren’t gone to quarantine too since they were living together . Abeg leave those people called Chinese .

This is total lies . Non of them tested positive, I don't know what the Chinese and Nigeria Governor is planning or want to achieve on these propaganda. Aftering taking those guys to hotel for quarantine I mean the second quarantine.. They allow those that have valid visa to go their home and keep those without valid documents in the hotel. Is corona virus only for those without valid documents. I guess they just was to deport them for invalid documents but it's bad for them to use corona and as excuse.

there are 5 million 5g users in south Korea. Use your head

Yes you re right, I'm here in South Korea and 5G is being here since last year , in fact my friend a Nigerian is even using it. It's a choice to either switch to 5G and pay more or remain on 4g as Im still on 4g besides the 5G mask is here in seoul why corona first started to spread in the church in a city called deagou.. Well i just said what I know but I can't judge or conclude 5G trega corona or not.

SpecialAgent:
v v

Actually, a restaurant mostly visited by Nigerians( they make Nigerian cuisines at the restaurant) had a confirmed case of covid~19 from one of the workers. So the Chinese government decided to track all the people who frequent that restaurant, which happens to be Nigerians.

So instead of Nigerians to stay, be tested, and isolated for 14 days, to confirm they have no corona, they decided to run away like always, when caught, they pretend to be "harassed" by confronting the Chinese officials. And the officials also overreact & act harshly


But that doesn't mean Chinese people ain't racist though

My source: A friend in china

And that your friend forget to tell you how they use landlord and landlady to evict people from their home which they paid up front, and help us ask that ur friends why is took those guys to 4 star hotel for isolation and ask them to pay with their money, then ask him to tell us why is the police seizing their passport.. ? Then ask ur friend if that Nigeria restaurant have only Nigerian working? Because I know the guy Emma who own the restaurant is married to Chinese, which his wife and her mother re in same shop and other Chinese workers.. Then why is the police also getting other African who do not go to the restaurant involved . Forget communist countries and their propaganda .

PHIPEX:
Did FG ask Dangote to refine some litres of fuel first before he got govt backing to build refinery? Govt should always support critical sectors, that's how countries grow not by begging.

Meaning you don’t know it’s a Linder medical equipment which need approval from government . Even Dangote got license from government

Is banks going to stop the monthly interest from their customers who took loan from them since all the market is closed down by government . Not just mkt but businesses . I’m Just asking because Nigeria banks wouldn’t like to hear lost .

Illiterate, go back to Primary 1. Evans was also a businessman.
That man went to prison for involvement in kidnapping Innoson's Chinese staff. You are an illiterate, so I don't expect you to understand.

He is real.business man but the problem he got was his mouth never close .. he talk too much .. he once kidnap and later the kidnapper called him to pay money again.or else he will.be kidnap again so he tell ask the kidnapper why only him are they not seeing other rich man like innoson . After the Chinese was kidnapped and made a call for for payment .. the dss was checking the call details and Audio of the kidnappers phone number ..it was then they obtain ogbuawa s voice .. then the late chief wasn't in.good team with nnewi top men . They used the opportunity to.deal with him . The man was t a kidnapper at all . In fact average business guy in.nnewi don't like that man . In 1993 ogbuawa publicly said any one who.money is.not up to one million.Anita should go.back.to village .. and that alone.made many to dislike him ..

Trump would rain bombs on whoever gave them approval and the surviving Iranians would get the memo.

Poverty mentality call it wast of money .. the owner is not complaining besides he have millions times of the fund with greater plans for it . You Will be surprise what will happen when he unveils his plans to the public ... .. go to other developed countries you will see project like this in different location of the country .. that's why you see people from other part of the country going to the least part for one thing or the other .. but in Nigeria .. All government institutions in one or two state .. that's why other state lack development .. everything go to Abuja .. it's not done that way .. that's why many Nigerian graduate haven't visited more than two or three state ..
