Federal Government through its Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi) is offering to convert Lagos resident’s vehicles to CNG for free on Friday, September 13, 2024, as part of Operation First Come, First Serve.
Gatekeepers News reports that the activity will take place from 3 pm to 6 pm, at six designated locations.
The first 50 vehicles that pass inspection at each of the six chosen locations will be fitted with free CNG conversion kits, allowing owners to refuel at N230 per SCM of CNG at any NIPCO station, thereby saving cost compared to petrol.
Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi in a post on his official X account on Thursday, urges Lagos residents to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
The initiative is part of the government’s broader plan to promote cleaner energy, alleviate the financial strain caused by rising fuel prices, and support the transition to more eco-friendly transportation nationwide.
With CNG priced significantly lower than petrol, the conversion offers immediate financial relief for vehicle owners seeking a more affordable and sustainable fuel alternative amidst ongoing fuel price fluctuations.
The authorised vehicle CNG conversion centres in Lagos along with their respective addresses include:
Femadec
Km 42, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Majek Second Gate Stop, Abiju Ibeju, Lekki, Lagos.
