Car owners in the country will have to
pay N250,000 to convert their cars to autogas.

Justice Derefaka, Technical Adviser on Gas
Business and Policy Implementation to Minister
of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva who
appeared on a Channels Television programme on
Wednesday December 2 after the Group
Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari on Tuesday
December 1 said that one million cars are to be
powered by Autogas free of charge, averred
that vehicle owners will have different payment
plans to covert their cars to autogas.

He said;

“The cost varies. So in terms of cost
implication, it depends on the cylinder
of the vehicle and of course, for a
typical SUV cylinder, it is a bit higher
but on the average, it is around
N200,000 to N250,000 and this is for a
four-cylinder vehicle but it becomes a
little bit higher for a six-cylinder SUV
vehicle.”

Also commenting on the different payment plans
for car owners who want to convert their cars,
Derefaka stated that the conversion is not
totally free.

He added;

“The owner of the car basically will
decide to say I want to run on autogas
or CNG or LNG and like the honourable
minister had mentioned it as well,
conversion basically, has different
strands, you can partner with your bank
and then the bank will now agree with
the conversion centre to say ‘Convert
this our customer’s car for free.’ Not
free in its entirety.

“But then you now go and covert your
vehicle. What happens is that the
installer will put some form of
mechanism that each time you buy the
gas; a certain amount will be deducted
to pay for the conversion kits.”

Dimissing fears of many Nigerians seeing the
conversion fee as expensive, the aide noted that
payment can be done within five to seven
months.

Derefaka said;

“And that in its self has saved you the
use of gas in lieu of petrol to about
45-50 per cent,” the Marine
Engineering graduate from the Rivers
State University (RSU), Port Harcourt
added. “So, there is a huge cost-saving
in that regard.”
