The federal government has commissioned five compressed natural gas (CNG) refuelling stations in Lagos, Nigeria. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote cleaner and more affordable fuel options for motorists.
The stations, located across Lagos, are expected to reduce reliance on petroleum-based fuels and lower emissions. Officials stated the move aligns with national goals to diversify energy sources and improve air quality. The project was launched in collaboration with private sector partners.
This marks a significant step in Nigeria’s efforts to transition toward sustainable transportation. The government has set a target of opening six additional CNG stations by 2027. The initiative follows recent policy changes aimed at encouraging green energy solutions. The first phase of the project has already begun, with plans to expand the network in the coming years.
