• The Nigerian government is offering free CNG conversions for vehicles at various locations in six states
• Lagos, one of the states, will have six designated conversion centres, and vehicle owners will be offered free kits
• The initiative is expected to reduce fuel costs for motorists following the removal of the fuel subsidy

Legit.ng journalist Dave Ibemere has over a decade of business journalism experience with in-depth knowledge of the Nigerian economy, stocks, and general market trends.

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:

“Act now and take advantage of our limited-time offer! On a first-come, first-served basis, secure your free PCNGI conversion and unlock access to subsidized fuel prices of just N230 per liter. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to save on fuel costs!

“1st 50 cars to be inspected, and that pass conversion will get FREE kits immediately to enjoy N230 per SCM of CNG at any NIPCO Station.

“On Friday, 13th September, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the locations are Lagos, Abeokuta, and Ibadan. On Saturday, 14th September, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the locations are Abuja and Kaduna.”
