A university professor, Kamal Bello, has stated that he would not convert his car to use compressed natural gas if President Tinubu does.
In a Facebook post on September 22, Professor Bello apologised for his stance but opined that he would stick to using petrol.
He cited not having conversion and refilling centres and the high cost of doing the conversions as his reasons for not switching to CNG. He wrote:
“I am sorry to say that personally I am not converting my car to any CNG even if Tinubu converts his own. One, I don’t have the conversion and refilling centres close to me.
“Two I can’t afford 750K to do the conversion now and even in the nearest future. Three, by the time I have the 750K the price might have increased, because I learnt it was 300K some 6 months ago.
I will continue to use my petrol car till the time I cannot buy it and I will be following public transport. Where are those cars converted to electricity.
“Thanks and God bless Nigeria.”
