CNG use in Nigeria

Recall that days ago, a Nigerian university professor said that he would never convert his car to use gas no matter what.

The bus drivers' testimonies were different. One of them said that his running costs have drastically reduced since converting to CNG.

Instead of spending more than N30,000 on fuel to work daily, the man said that CNG of N7,000 is now sufficient for him

His video interview was reshared by @pcngi on TikTok.
