The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) is accelerating access to clean energy by expanding its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) network across major Nigerian cities.
In a recent update on its X platform, NNPC stated, “We are expanding clean energy access, one city at a time. We are now live in Abeokuta, Abuja, and Ibadan. With every new site, we bring Nigerians closer to cleaner, more affordable energy for everyday mobility.”
The company is focusing its CNG rollout in key locations, including Lagos and Abuja, as part of a national initiative to promote CNG as a cleaner and cost-effective alternative to petrol.
NNPC has already established CNG stations in areas such as Lateef Jakande (Agidingbi), Agege Motor Road (Mushin), Lekki-Epe Expressway (Sangotedo), and Mobile Road (Apapa).
In addition, six mobile refuelling units were recently launched at Fola Agoro (Shomolu), Alapere SS, Marina, Agege Bypass (Idimangoro), Lakowe SS, and Odogunyan SS (Ikorodu).
Combined, the stations in Lagos and Abuja have the capacity to dispense over six million standard cubic feet of CNG daily, serving around 15,000 vehicles.
