Introducing
CNG

Sequel to the removal of the PMS subsidy and the full deregulation of the petroleum products market, the price of PMS has increased significantly. As such there is a need to consider alternative sources of fuel, primarily CNG and EV for vehicles. The presidential CNG Initiative was approved by the president to provide cheaper & cleaner fueling alternative for Nigerians.
