Indeed, the role of Government is to enable and synergize with the private sector, not compete with it. This is why NASENI\u2019s collaborative approach is very welcome, and is a model that all Federal Government agencies are encouraged to emulate.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Continuing he said,&#8221;Our administration\u2019s Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PiCNG) is a flagship program by which we are actively supporting a private-sector-led rollout of critical gas infrastructure to drive innovation and industrialization in Nigeria.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0&#8220;It is also a major contribution to our vision of fully harnessing Nigeria\u2019s immense gas resources, as a transition fuel on the journey to net-zero, as envisaged by our Energy Transition Plan (ETP).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Let me say that we are equally focused on the full range of energy options for powering Nigerian transport sector. So, in addition to gas, electric vehicles are a major plank of our overall strategy. Again, I am aware that NASENI is championing efforts in this area, with an ambitious plan to develop and build lithium batteries in Nigeria, working with foreign partners.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He further noted,&#8221;We can and will make Nigeria an African hub of the global Electric Vehicle revolution. Fortunately for us, Nigeria is blessed with abundant deposits of lithium, a key mineral in the development of Electric Vehicle batteries.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;We have put in a lot of work on the way to the full implementation of the PiCNG, and this commissioning today is testament to the success of our efforts. NASENI\u2019s contribution to the development of technical and human capacity for converting engines to CNG demonstrates that we are a government that not only points out where we are headed, but also strives to lead by example.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;As Chair of the Governing Board of NASENI, I will continue to provide the oversight and overall leadership for the attainment of NASENI\u2019s Strategic Launchpad aspirations. We will transform this agency into a model of public sector excellence, and of public-private partnership.&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By George Mgbeleke President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed all Federal Agencies to begin to support and patronize products of National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI)\u00a0 as a central player in the achievement of that grand vision of Nigerian The President stated on Friday at the commissioning of NASENI multipurpose CNG reverse engineering, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[93,95,92,90,89,94,91],"class_list":["post-141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-economy","category-oil-gas","tag-engineering","tag-filling-and-conversion-electric","tag-gas","tag-manufacturing","tag-technology","tag-training","tag-vehicle"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142,"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions\/142"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyechoes.ng\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
