FG unveils five CNG stations in Lagos

The Federal Government has unveiled five new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations in Lagos State, as part of efforts to expand the use of CNG in Nigeria. Developed by the Lagos State-owned Ibile Oil and Gas Corporation in partnership with the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund, the stations are located in Idimu, Ogolonto, Abule Egba, Ajah, and Oko-Oba.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas) Ekperikpe Ekpo highlighted the significance of these stations in bringing cleaner gas closer to consumers and providing motorists and commercial transport operators with an alternative fuel. The stations have a combined gas storage capacity of 45,640 standard cubic metres and a CNG compression capacity of 24,000 standard cubic metres per day.

The initiative aims to reduce transportation costs for businesses and households, as well as support the adoption of CNG-powered vehicles in Nigeria.
