The Federal Government has concluded plans to roll out 9000 autogas filling stations from the existing 10,000 retail outlets across the country under the National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP) within the next six months.

Chairman of the NGEP, Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim, who disclosed this at the weekend said the NGEP has gone very far in reflating the economy by leveraging on the nation’s gas resources despite the frustration of its activities by the subsidy cabals and some stakeholders who said the gas expansion programme would never work.

He spoke just as the N250bn NGEP fund remained dormant in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the past four years over stringent conditions attached to it.

Ibrahim spoke in Lagos during the Annual Training Workshop of the Nigeria Auto Journalists Association (NAJA) with the theme, “Fuel Subsidy Removal: Autogas/Electric Vehicles as Alternatives”.

The NGEP was conceived to serve as a catalyst for adding value to the vast natural gas reserves Nigeria is endowed with.

The Chairman who was the guest speaker at the workshop insisted that gas was cheaper and more environmentally friendly for vehicles following the removal of fuel subsidy by the federal government.

He stated that the promise of the Tinubu-led administration to create 100 million jobs was achievable with the gas expansion programme, saying the multi-fuel scheme which enables vehicle owners to fill their tank with liquefied natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG) as well as the conventional premium motor spirit would take off in the next 6 months despite resistance from some stakeholders.

According to him, over 5m conversion kits were needed to convert 30m internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to CNG or LNG which would create 12.5m jobs. He noted that autogas has potentials “to really reflate the economy if it is properly done.”

He said, “Under our NGEP programme, we have what we call the multi-fuel scheme whereby we do not intend to shut down the current petrol stations that we have in the country, about 10,000 of them and like I said earlier we have carried out an audit whereby 9000 of 10,000 qualify to retrofit to become multi-fuel.

“So what is going to happen and we have a couple already in the system, is that, you drive into a filling station, you are going to have dispensing facilities for your petrol, diesel, and kerosene but in addition you are going to have the dispensing facilities with the cryogenic tower that enables you to have access to LNG and also a dispensing pump for CNG and also a charging point for your electric vehicles.

“So it becomes a multi-fuel retail outlet that enables you to have access to LNG for your long hauls, CNG for your 300km maximum and conventional petrol, diesel and kerosene.

“But you don’t even need a separate CNG facility because all you just need is if you have your cryogenic tower, you can generate CNG from your LNG in your station by an addition of a pump.”

On the N250bn NGEP fund domiciled in CBN, he noted that no individual or company had accessed it because of the stringent conditions attached to it.

He said the former CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele did not listen to his team that the conditions should be made less stringent to make it accessible to companies involved in the autogas value chain.

Just look at mumu govt ..CNG is more expensive in the long run

Explain

Nigeria our country😆

Explain

If you take look at the following

High set up cost

Heavy wear and tear on your engine


3 times more oil change

Loss of engine power

Risk if explosion during accident


If you take all these into consideration CNG is far far far more expensive than Petro

You’re just fabricating ideas to justify your criticism.
The entire world is leaving petro in few years so oil might be useless if Nigeria do not make alternatives for the future you’ll still be the one to complain that the government lacks foresight allow government do their thing it’s not by force to use CNG you can stick with your petro in peace without criticizing other things.

Lol

Rigmarole and backsliding like Michael Jackson..

Dangote and him fellow roguish investors for the refinery project go just dey look all of una with a bombastic side eye.

Shey make dem begin drink the refined oil abi and if every country in the world decide to tow this line shebi every one of us go dey drink one glass of our crude oyel like milkshake for breakfast, another for lunch, and for dinner with a mix of agabdo, ewa, or cassava.

For those arguing about cleaner and more efficient energy usage above, I just dey laugh una.

Na who don chop belleful dey reason how clean energy wey him need to survive be.

The ones preaching and trying to pretend to live it now are leaving the world in the worse shape than they met it with their industrialization drive almost sorted. We wey never even begin wan emulate them.

In fact, the rate of explosions and avoidable deaths wey go follow this thing na him I dey fear.

Nigerians wey like cutting corners and always doing things without refulation/supervision.

Senseless criminals.

You’ve no iQ CNG is. Cleaner , greener and Eco friendly world biggest economies are already diversifying to safe the planet you’re here talking about high cost of implementing the project . on the long run petro will cause more disaster to the planet 🌎. CNG is cheaper to petro and is safer to eco system .

l don't think is true . It is not costly to set up . The kits not up to 150k. Except nigeria factor kicks in.
2, wear and tear is lie, as gas burn clean energy it won't have effect on ur engine ,infacts it prolongs your engine.
3 time change of oil is unconfirmed too
Loss of power lie.risk of explosion lies .
Do you think autogas is new innovation, do you know number of vehicles using autogas in India alone ?

I don’t know you’re this daft I’ve given you my reasons why CNG is better you’re still saying thrash . CNG burns slower than petro and it’s cleaner to the eco system . The only risk is explosion if accident occurs . But everything has risk , it’s not by force to use CNG ok stop wailing like a frustrated soul .

Some people don’t still take flight ✈️, 🛳 or use cooking gas at home because of the dangers but other people still do it’s a thing of choice nobody is forcing ok stop being bitter .
On the long run Gas is still better , because you can Manage it but Petro will pollute the earth which can lead to natural disasters .
I’ll not waste time to educate you I’ve done my research on CNG the demerits are high cost of conversion which might go down when competition sets in and the explosion aspect of serous accident occurs but it’s purely optional .
The advantage is that it’s cheaper #5000 can fill up a 50 liter tank .

Well it’s obvious you are the one that is not smart.

The guy you quoted gave his reason multiple times as to why he believes everything you said is crap.

Rather than you counter him with evidence, you’re running away like a coward hiding under some empty intelligence.

By the way, Tinubu is the president and he can govern this country anyhow he wants. If he likes, he will reawake coal in Enugu and tell us it’s now our source of fuel. Nothing wey una go do about an.

After he is done in 8 years, your Awkusu fraud can go back and say water is the new fuel, na una problem be that.

If at this Age you don’t take climate change seriously you need to be born again you’re really Empty with a loud mouth and a empty skull.
Climate change can end human race if not taken seriously from droughts, wildfires, Tsunamis you’re a certified loafer.

The fact that you beleive there is something called climate change says all

Well take it from me Climate Change is nothing but a HOAX..Trust me there is nothing like that 😅😅😅😅😅

Another scam loading. Infact wait to hear the billions that will be embezzled to pull this off. If they can ocastrate the subsidy, air Nigeria, one-year one-refinery scams and even deny their own fake promises over 8 years running, and are still lying shamelessly to their citizens. What else can these nauseating criminals in government do?

Didnt that guy sound dumb to u

He prolly thinks science is same thing as basic logic

Its draining arguing with such person

Dont know much about present times , i think those people are on electric these days. But like 18-20 years ago there were thousands of cars and hundreds of stations and there were no problem. i had driven many cars on CNG, smooth ride around Delhi Gurugram.

CNG is good fuel, i can say for sure.

How many CNG fueled cars you have driven or owned in the past?
I had one in 2004 while i was studying abroad, and had no problem at all and way cheaper in overall. Its sad this continent always gets things and technology 20-30 years after west, India, China etc
