He said the focus is to convert two million vehicles per year and key into the National Gas Expansion program and the National Autogas Roll Out initiative in the federal government’s master plan which aims to explore Nigeria’s huge gas reserves.
This would enhance the drive for gas utilization and open up new trajectories for development and employment, according to him.
The Director General of NITT, Dr Bayero Salih Farah, emphasised that the institute is mandated to provide training, transport intelligence monitoring, logistics systems, provision of equipment and facilities for encouragement, promotion and conduct of applied research in all modes of transport.
“We are taking the bull by the horn on this to compliment all stakeholders’ efforts for a positive transformation in the transport industry”, he said.
