The Federal Government in Nigeria has set a target of deploying one million compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles across the country in order to reduce transportation costs and cut down transportation fares for citizens. This initiative, spearheaded by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, aims to accelerate investments in CNG refuelling infrastructure and vehicle conversions, as well as strengthening programmes to promote the adoption of CNG-powered vehicles nationwide.
The move comes in response to the removal of petrol subsidy in 2023, which has led to increased transportation costs and pressure on household incomes.
