Niger State Motorists Demand CNG Supply Restoration

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle owners in Niger State protested on October 25 at the NNPC Mega Station in Minna due to the unavailability of CNG. Many had converted their vehicles over three months ago, only to find the dispensing machine at the station out of order.

Protesters, including Mohammed Doko Saidu and Engr. Israel Ogbonnaya, expressed their frustration, highlighting that they had invested over a million naira in CNG installations without access to gas. Saidu criticized the government's push for CNG conversion without ensuring adequate facilities, while Ogbonnaya noted that repeated inquiries to the station management yielded no answers.

The protest aimed to draw attention to the situation, emphasizing that CNG is a government initiative. The protest remained peaceful, with motorists calling for urgent action to restore CNG supply.
