The Federal Government, through its Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi), has kicked off a free Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) conversion program for vehicles.
The initiative will kick off on Friday, September 13th and Saturday 14th, in Lagos, Ogun, Ibadan, Abuja, and Kaduna.
The program will see selected vehicles converted from petrol to CNG at no cost to the owners, a move the government hopes will promote the adoption of CNG as a mainstream fuel for transportation.
The initiative is expected to help reduce fuel costs for Nigerians, as CNG is significantly cheaper than petrol.
PCNGi in a message said:
Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, will have six designated conversion centre
Ogun
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that President Bola Tinubu launched CNG for vehicles at N230 per litre.
This initiative is designed to provide Nigerians with a more affordable and sustainable alternative to petrol and diesel.
A plan is also to distribute one million free CNG conversion kits for commercial vehicles over the next 18 months.
The president believes the initiative will support a transition to CNG through authorised centres.
