The Federal Government has transformed an unused petrol station at the State House in Abuja into a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) refuelling facility. This move aims to reduce Nigeria's reliance on petrol and diesel, following the removal of fuel subsidies in 2023. The facility, located in Karu, Abuja, can serve around 150 vehicles daily and features double-nozzle dispensers for simultaneous refuelling.
Private operator Rollin Energy has partnered with the government on this project, which is part of a larger initiative to build nearly 15 CNG facilities nationwide by the end of 2026. The government has also committed to expanding investments in CNG-powered buses, trucks, and tricycles, with a goal of reducing transportation costs for Nigerians by 40% or more.
