Nigerian company releases locations of its filling stations to buy fuel priced at N200

Some filling stations across Nigeria have commenced the sale of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel, which is seen as a viable alternative to Premium Motor Spirit, also known as petrol.

CNG is a fuel gas under pressure that remains clear, odourless and non-corrosive.

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) recently ordered all filling stations across the country to commence selling CNG.

The introduction of CNG at filling stations is part of the federal government's broader strategy to diversify Nigeria's energy sources and reduce citizens' dependence on petrol.

Nigerians buy CNG at filling stations

NIPCO is at the forefront of the adoption of CNG in Nigeria, with its filling stations spread across the country.

Legit.ng reported that a driver who converted his car to run on CNG shared his experience in a video at a NIPCO filling station, where CNG was sold at N150 per cubic meter.

The driver also revealed that filling his car's tank with CNG fuel cost him not more than N2,000.
