Nigeria is determined to explore and develop the Methanol chemical fuel technology because it holds the key to the economic diversification of the country, Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, stated this, on Monday in Abuja. To this end, the country and Israel will soon sign a bilateral agreement in the area of Methanol Fuel Production Technology which would be of mutual benefits to the two countries. The minister said Nigeria would appreciate the inputs of Israel to ensure the smooth takeoff of the methanol policy. Earlier, the Israel Ambassador, Mr Shoshan, said his country will be too willing to share its know-how and expertise on methanol fuel technology with Nigeria. Mr Shoshan also said that his country is also amenable to learn from Nigeria’s indigenous technology and its progress in oil and gas technology.
