Full List: FG Releases Locations Nigerians Can Buy Fuel At Cheaper Price

The federal government has released a list of locations across the country where motorists can convert their petrol and diesel-powered vehicles to run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).

This move aims to provide an affordable alternative, thereby reducing the cost of transportation.

Addressing journalists on Thursday, July 11, Michael Oluwagbemi, the programme director and chief executive of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGi), said the conversion would be at no cost for commercial transporters across different unions.

Oluwagbemi mentioned that these unions include the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), and the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), among others.

He also noted that ride-share operators were included in the scheme, with a target of free one million conversions by 2027.

In a previous comment, Oluwagbemi mentioned that the cost of converting a petrol-powered vehicle to CNG ranges between N300,000 to about N600,000, depending on the type of car and components.

CNG priced at N200

Dtruth Insights reports that under the Presidential CNG Initiative, NNPCL and NIPCO Gas entered a strategic partnership to expand CNG stations across Nigeria.

The collaboration is set to establish 35 CNG stations nationwide, of which 12 were commissioned in Lagos and Abuja in the past week.

The effort was part of the government’s response to the increase in fuel prices, which rose from N197 per litre to N617 after the petrol subsidy removal announced by President Bola Tinubu on May 29 last year.

Tinubu’s action significantly raised transportation costs in Nigeria. CNG is cheaper, and according to Nagendra Verma, managing director of NIPCO Gas, autoGas for cars, taxis, and tricycles is priced at around N200 per standard cubic foot.

At the same time, CNG for heavy commercial vehicles is sold at N260 per standard cubic meter (SCM).
