FG steps up CNG drive with station reopening and staff vehicle conversions

Nigeria’s federal government has reopened a former State House petrol station in Abuja as a compressed natural gas (CNG) refuelling facility. Permanent Secretary Temitope Fashedemi said the project was delivered with Pi-CNG & EV and Rollin Energy Limited, with no rehabilitation cost to the State House, to encourage private investment and expand refuelling access. About 10 recently acquired JAC vehicles and some shuttle buses at the Presidential Villa are already CNG-hybrid. The government plans to offer CNG-hybrid conversions for eligible personal vehicles belonging to State House staff in the coming weeks.
