President Bola Ahmed Tinubu inaugurated the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Reverse Engineering Training, Filling, and Conversion Centre in Abuja.

This event was significant as it marked a major achievement for NASENI, attributed to the leadership of its CEO, Khalil Halilu. Under his guidance, NASENI has made considerable progress in various areas, including manufacturing, agriculture, and energy.

The commissioning of the CNG Centre by President Tinubu is a testament to the hard work and dedication of Khalil and his team at NASENI. This center is the first of its kind in Nigeria and aims to promote the use of CNG as a cleaner and more affordable alternative to gasoline.

CNG is compressed natural gas that can power vehicles and engines without emitting harmful emissions. With increasing global concern for climate change, the use of CNG is a step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.

The CNG Centre has the capacity to train professionals in CNG technology, provide practical training on vehicle conversion to CNG, and supply CNG to the public. This center is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and technology, making it a hub for research and innovation in the field of CNG.

It also has the potential to create job opportunities for Nigerians, as the demand for trained professionals in this field is expected to increase in the coming years.

The commissioning of the CNG Centre is not the only achievement under Khalil Halilu’s leadership at NASENI. The agency has undertaken numerous projects and initiatives, including the production of made-in-Nigeria tractors, solar panels, and home appliances. NASENI is also working towards establishing a technology village in each of Nigeria’s geopolitical zones with the aim of promoting local technology and innovation.

The commissioning of the NASENI CNG Centre by President Tinubu is a significant milestone for the agency, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the vision and leadership of Khalil Halilu. His commitment to promoting science and technology in Nigeria is commendable, evident in the numerous achievements of NASENI under his leadership.
