The Federal Government, under the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi), has announced free vehicle conversions to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for Lagos residents. The offer, set for Friday, September 13, from 3 PM to 6 PM, is available at six designated locations on a first-come, first-served basis.
Lagos vehicle owners are invited to bring their cars for inspection, and the first 50 vehicles at each location will be fitted with free CNG conversion kits. Once converted, vehicles can refuel at a lower cost of N230 per SCM of CNG at NIPCO stations, providing significant savings compared to petrol prices.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, announced this opportunity on X (formerly Twitter) and urged residents to take advantage of the government’s initiative aimed at promoting cleaner energy and reducing transportation costs.
The program supports the government’s push for eco-friendly alternatives and offers financial relief amidst rising fuel prices.

The PCNGi program aims to reduce reliance on petrol, create jobs, and support local manufacturing through the expansion of CNG infrastructure across the country.
