The presidency has encouraged Nigerians to transition from traditional fuels to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).

Olusegun Dada, a media aide to President Bola Tinubu, in a social media post, said traveling from Abuja to Lagos using CNG would cost only N10,000.

His words: “From Abuja-Lagos using CNG will cost you N10,000. A PMS tank has chances of exploding due to heat faster than a CNG tank ever will. Nigeria has more gas than crude oil.

“The business of CNG is moving faster than anticipated with stations coming up across every part of the country. CNG financing is getting better everyday with outlets like @futurewavecng allowing you to convert and payback overtime.

“As a safer, cheaper and cleaner source of energy, the best time for you to join the CNG camp is now!

“Prices apart, we are moving very fast away from fossil fuel and President Tinubu remains committed to ensuring our vast gas reserves are maximized for the sustainable development of our economy. Time to key in.”

As more CNG stations are established and financing options for conversion become more favourable, government officials are optimistic about the rapid growth of the CNG sector.
