Subair said, “This initiative is part of PCNGI’s broader strategy to promote transparency, spark public conversation, and engage Nigerians through key personalities who resonate with diverse audiences.

“Our goal is to involve Nigerians in the process of fully utilizing our most abundant resource, which is gas. Nigeria cannot afford doubts about our mission to make the country energy-competitive, especially those doubts fueled by politics or subsidy barons.

“We finally have a President bold and courageous enough to lead us on this path of economic independence, and we must pursue it together, armed with knowledge and without fear.

“I salute Tuface, Basketmouth, Ola of Lagos, and Rarara for choosing to be the eyes of the people.”
