It said the move was inline with the Federal Government’s policy on removal on subsidy of petroleum products.
Army spokesperson, Maj.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, who announced this in a statement on Thursday, March 21, stated that the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) ordered the conversion on Tuesday at the Nigerian Army Fleet auto switch kick-off programme.
Nwachukwu said the COAS emphasized the importance of the Nigerian Army’s involvement in the initiative, citing the large fleet of operational vehicles and other requirements.
According to Nwachukwu, Gen. Lagbaja said 30 operational vehicles using PMS would be converted during the pilot phase and 22 personnel would be trained on the process of conversion.
“The COAS disclosed further that the Nigerian Army is willing to cooperate maximally and expressed appreciation to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the initiative,” Nwachukwu said.
