To advance Nigeria’s transition to green energy, Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Tuggar led a high-level delegation on a tour of UROVESA, a well-known Spanish manufacturer of military and industrial vehicles.
The visit focused on exploring potential collaboration in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) technology for powering Nigeria’s defense and industrial vehicle fleets.
In a statement from his Media Aide, Alkasim Abdulkadir says, Yusuf Tuggar emphasized the longstanding trade ties between Nigeria and Spain. He noted that Spain remains one of Nigeria’s top trading partners, with Nigerian crude oil exports reaching $3.64 billion in 2023.
Tuggar praised UROVESA’s innovative approach to producing all-terrain, armored, tactical, and logistical vehicles, expressing Nigeria’s growing interest in implementing CNG-powered solutions.
Tuggar also highlighted the business-friendly economic reforms under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, which have positioned Nigeria as a prime destination for investment in clean energy technologies.
The statement mentioned that the high-level delegation includes the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ekperikpe Ekpo; Presidential CNG Initiative representative, Engr. Michael Oluwagbemi; Engr. Henry Oki, and the Special Assistant for Gas Business and Investment to the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas). Together, they engaged in detailed discussions with UROVESA executives.
The outcome of the discussions sets the stage for a strategic partnership expected to foster sustainable innovation and drive economic growth for both Nigeria and UROVESA.
