The Kaduna state Governor Uba Sani inaugurates first liquefied gas station in Kaduna

The first liquefied compressed natural gas station built by Greenville LNG in Kakau, Kaduna State, was opened by Senator Uba Sani, the governor of Kaduna State, on Tuesday.

At the ceremony, Sani declared that the new facility would not only improve the state but also make it easier for the thousands of young people who are homeless to find work, which will strengthen the state's economy.

The governor praised Greenville's management for revitalizing the state's business climate and creating jobs for locals, while reiterating his administration's commitment to turning the state into a commercial magnet.

Additionally, he mentioned how crucial it was for the state's micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises and industries to have access to power through the L-CNG gas hub.

He added that the development would also help in addressing state’s pressing need for energy security.

The governor said, “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, aluminium, 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 reenergise 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.

“Youths would not only be employed in numbers, they would also have the opportunity to create and innovate. We therefore request Greenville LNG to kindly consider providing more gas hubs in Kaduna.

“The Kaduna State Government eagerly anticipates the positive impact that this groundbreaking initiative will bring to our State and the nation as a whole. We shall give Greenville LNG all the support it requires to make this initiative a resounding success.”
