  "summary": "The Federal Government of Nigeria has set its sights on a target of one million CNG-powered vehicles to cut transport costs, following the removal of petrol subsidies. Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, directed intensified efforts to promote CNG as a cheaper, environmentally friendly transport fuel. He emphasized the need for sustained investments in refuelling infrastructure, vehicle conversions, and other critical components to accelerate CNG adoption. The initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu's directive to make transportation cheaper through CNG, and the government remains committed to providing necessary support to drive the project to completion.",
