The Federal Government has announced six locations in Lagos State where vehicle owners can receive a free conversion to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
This initiative is part of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi).
According to Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the conversions will start on Friday, September 13, from 3 pm to 6 pm at six designated sites. The service will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The first 50 vehicles at each location that pass inspection will receive free CNG conversion kits.
Owners will then be able to refuel at NIPCO stations for ₦230 per SCM of CNG, offering substantial savings compared to petrol.
Osiyemi encouraged Lagos residents to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
Here is a list of the approved CNG conversion centers in Lagos, including their addresses:
