The Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGi) has delivered one hundred and fifty units of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) conversion kits and cylinders for the conversion of commercial vehicles in Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria.

The kits were offloaded to three designated centres – NIPCO at Toll Gate along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; Automation Auto Gas, Podo Industrial Village and Bovas, Ajibode retail outlet in which transport unions are expected to present their buses for conversion to CNG.

The CNG initiative by the Federal Government is aimed at reducing the cost of transportation following the hike in the prices of petrol and diesel.

Louisa Afu, Business Development Executive of P-CNGi, who said the conversion of the commercial vehicles to CNG is free of charge, noted that “this conversion initiative is free for commercial vehicles of Unions -NARTO, NURTW, RTEAN and State transport vehicles.
While calling on Nigerians to switch to the CNG option for a safer, cheaper and cleaner transportation experience, he stated that the Country has abundant gas which would make the conversion initiative sustainable.
Afu, who stated that talks were ongoing with banks to get conversion financing for individual vehicle owners to enable them to benefit from the initiative, said conversion of vehicles to CNG varies in different centres between N900,000 and N1.2 million.

The P-CNGi Business Development Executive, however, noted that vehicles from 1996 upward were CNG-compliant.

Ademola Adeoye, Vice Chairman, Oyo State Park Management System, PMS, who lauded the initiative by the Federal Government, said transport fares would be reduced when all commercial drivers key into the use of CNG.

But, Sowole Jaiyeola, who just converted his Toyota Corolla 2010 model two months ago, lamented that the cost of conversion to CNG is still high, urging the Government to reduce the cost of CNG conversion for more Nigerians to embrace it.
