As many continue to battle with economic hardship, President Bola Tinubu has said that Nigerians now have the option of either buying premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, at N1,000 per litre or compressed natural gas (CNG) at N200 per standard cubic meter.
A statement released by presidential media aide, Bayo Onanuga, says the President said this when he spoke during a meeting with the Nigerian Independent Petroleum Company (NIPCO) at the State House in Abuja on Tuesday, October 22.
While commending NIPCO’s contributions to the nation’s energy transition efforts, particularly its support for the presidential compressed natural gas initiative (PCNGI), Tinubu said CNG saves consumers significant costs.
“President Tinubu acknowledged NIPCO’s role as a critical player in enhancing the adoption of CNG as an alternative fuel, noting that such investments align with his administration’s energy security and economic diversification strategy,” Onanuga said.
“He emphasised the importance of public-private partnerships in driving the transition to cleaner and more affordable energy solutions for Nigerians.
“The President lauded NIPCO’s efforts in promoting and supporting the ‘Switch to CNG’ campaign, which has been instrumental in boosting public awareness and providing affordable CNG conversion kits even before the official kickoff of the Presidential CNG Initiative.
“He highlighted the significance of this initiative in reducing the nation’s reliance on petrol and cutting down fuel costs for consumers.
“CNG, being a cleaner and more affordable fuel, reduces the carbon footprint and saves consumers significant fuel costs.
“Nigerian motorists can buy petrol at N1,000 per litre or the gas equivalent per Standard Cubic Meter at N200. We have also introduced incentives for commercial motorists to convert from petrol to gas, free of cost.” the statement in part reads.
Onanuga added that President Tinubu said his administration remains committed to providing a conducive environment for private sector investments and expanding Nigeria’s CNG infrastructure to enhance energy efficiency and economic growth.
