The Federal Government of Nigeria has reported that there are currently about 160 operational Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) refuelling stations nationwide, with another 170 facilities either in development or awaiting regulatory approvals. This comes as part of the country's efforts to expand the use of alternative fuels, reduce transportation costs, and capitalise on the substantial natural gas reserves available.
The Executive Chairman of the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas and Electric Vehicles, Barrister Ismaeel Ahmed, highlighted this development during the official commissioning of a CNG Integrated Refuelling Unit station in Karu, Abuja. The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (MDGIF) is set to support this growth with an additional 500 infrastructure units over the next few years.
