Motorists protest three-month CNG shortage in Niger State

Motorists in Minna, the capital of Niger State, protested on Sunday at the NNPC Mega Station along the Western Bypass over a three-month shortage of compressed natural gas (CNG). They had converted their vehicles from petrol (PMS) to CNG to reduce transport costs, investing considerable sums in the conversions. The shortage has denied them the expected savings and made it harder to operate their vehicles. Protesters urged authorities and other stakeholders to restore a reliable supply.
