Minna Vehicle Owners Protest CNG Shortage at NNPC Station

Vehicle owners in Minna, Niger State, protested at the NNPC Mega Station along the Western Bypass axis due to the unavailability of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for the past three months. The protest aimed to draw attention to their plight, as the shortage has undermined the benefits of converting their vehicles from Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to CNG, which is viewed as a more affordable and environmentally friendly option.

The vehicle owners expressed frustration over the substantial costs incurred during the conversion process, expecting lower operating expenses that have not materialized due to the lack of access to CNG. Engr. Israel Ogbonnaya, a protester, stated that the prolonged unavailability of CNG necessitated the protest to urge relevant authorities to address their difficulties.

The vehicle owners are calling for urgent intervention to restore CNG supply in Minna, ensuring that those who invested in conversion can access the necessary fuel.
