The Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Uba Sani, has inaugurated the first Liquefied Compressed Natural Gas (LCNG) station set up by Greenville Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in Kakau, Kaduna State.
At the event, Sani said that the new facility would not only transform the state but would also facilitate the employment of the teeming youths roaming the streets, thereby boosting the state’s economy.
He also restated his administration’s commitment towards making the state a business hub, while commending the Management of Greenville for re-energizing the state’s business environment and the provision of job opportunities for residents.
The Governor also noted that the provision of power sources through the LCNG gas hub was of paramount importance for Micro, Small, and Medium (MSM) sized businesses and industries in the state, adding that the development would also help in addressing the state’s pressing need for energy security.
In his own words, “in a time marked by volatile fuel prices and currency fluctuations in the global market, Greenville LNG presents a robust solution in the form of L-CNG. This change is not only embraced but enthusiastically welcomed in Kaduna State. It promises to bring not only economic growth but also the revival of various Kaduna-based industries, including textiles, machinery, steel, and aluminum, as well as the automotive and oil and gas sectors.
“Our administration is committed to making Kaduna a business hub. Our energy needs are enormous. The Greenville Initiative will re-energize the business environment and provide employment opportunities for Kaduna residents. Energy is a major driver of business. With energy, small businesses will spring to life again.
According to Governor Sani, Youths would not only be employed in numbers, but they would also have the opportunity to create and innovate.
He, therefore, requested Greenville LNG to kindly consider providing more gas hubs in Kaduna as the Kaduna State Government eagerly anticipates the positive impact that the groundbreaking initiative will bring to our State and the nation as a whole.
