Under the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGi), the Federal Government on Thursday unveiled a list of locations where owners of petrol and diesel-powered vehicles can convert them to compressed natural gas (CNG) for free.

Michael Oluwagbemi, the P-CNGi Chief Executive and Programme Director, revealed this after concluding contracts with several auto conversion firms.

In an interview with journalists, Oluwagbemi emphasised that the initiative would help commercial transporters from a variety of unions, such as the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), and Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN). He added that the plan included ride-sharing companies.

According to the national news brand, NNPCL and NIPCO Gas have forged a strategic alliance to increase the number of CNG stations in Nigeria as part of the Presidential CNG Initiative. Twelve of the 35 CNG stations that the partnership plans to build nationally were put into service last week in Lagos and Abuja.

Adding, the endeavour was a component of the government’s reaction to the notable surge in fuel prices, which shot up from N197 per litre to N617 per litre following President Tinubu’s announcement on May 29 of last year, hence driving up transportation expenses.
