The government has already procured the contractor for the construction of the centre, he announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other stations will be constructed in Bagamoyo by Turky Petroleum, two at Mkuranga by Anric Company and Dangote, and Goba by BQ Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Hudson also used the press conference to explain the reason behind the current high queue at the Ubungo-based natural gas filling station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He attributed the challenge to the faults in the CNG tanker that picks up the gas from the Ubungo station and distributes it to the Tazara-based Anric station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This suggests that only one filling station of Ubungo is now working and all natural gas consumers have to get services from the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Dr Hudson said: \u201cWe are working on the problem and we expect the services to resume at the end of next week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecitizen.co.tz\/tanzania\/news\/national\/20-companies-allowed-to-build-compressed-natural-gas-stations-in-tanzania-4144834\">More on The Citizen<\/a><\/p>\n\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-48903\" data-postid=\"48903\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-48903 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) has given the go-ahead to 20 companies to build Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations as part of a larger initiative to deliver cleaner and more affordable energy.
