The Federal Government has introduced an application portal aimed at Nigerians interested in converting their vehicles from the use of Premium Motor Spirit to Compressed Natural Gas.
This was contained in a statement by the National Orientation Agency titled “Payment plan to make it easier to switch to CNG.”
According to the statement, Nigerians who wished to make the switch can now apply through this portal. The initiative includes flexible payment plans, allowing applicants to spread their payments over several months. The agency emphasized that applicants will receive support through the process to ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience.
The agency emphasized the ease of the process, stating that: “Switching to Compressed Natural Gas is now more accessible than ever. With flexible payment plans tailored to fit your budget, transitioning from petrol to CNG has never been smoother or more affordable.
“These payment options allow you to convert your vehicle now and pay later with affordable monthly installments at competitive rates. With an easy online application and quick approval process, you’ll receive support every step of the way to ensure a hassle-free experience”.
“The benefits of CNG include Cost Savings, Environmental Impact, Enhanced Engine Life, Safety and Reliability, Proven technology with a track record of safety and dependable performance”. The NOA encouraged those interested to visit the website gocng.ng to submit their applications.
This development follows the government’s recent launch on October 7 of a portal that allows youths to access CNG-powered tricycles as part of the Presidential CNG Initiative (P-CNGi). Michael Oluwagbemi, Project Director and CEO of P-CNGi, noted that the initiative aims to enhance the economic well-being of Nigerians by decreasing dependence on petrol and encouraging cleaner, more sustainable energy alternatives.
