FCT CNG Users Demand Stronger Partnership with Pi-CNG over Gas Shortages
The FCT CNG Users' Forum has called for stronger collaboration with the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas and Electric Vehicles (Pi-CNG and EVs) to address persistent compressed natural gas (CNG) shortages in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to a communiqué issued by the forum, the shortages have resulted in long queues at filling stations across Abuja, leaving motorists stranded and causing hardship.
The forum attributed the scarcity to disruptions in gas supply, diversion of gas trucks to newly established stations in other states, and delays caused by traffic congestion along the Lokoja-Kabba road.
To address the challenge, the forum recommended the establishment of additional 'mother plants' and standby storage cascades in Abuja to guarantee uninterrupted CNG supply and support 24-hour operations.
