Dangote petrol price emerges

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Dangote Refinery would sell the product to the national oil firm for between N960 and N980 naira per litre to the NNPC, which in turn sell it to the final consumers for between N857 and N865 per litre.

Meanwhile, the CNG kits are intended to hasten the conversion by commercial and private vehicle owners to achieve the target of a new automotive fuel transition.

The representative of the P-CNGi, Moses Onate, disclosed at the NIPCO facility in Ogun State that about 1,000 kits are being moved to Abuja, Kaduna, Oyo, and Lagos States following the government's intervention to make them available for vehicle conversion.

An Engineer at NIPCO, Nwaodu Austin Chinedu, confirmed that the company’s warehouse is stocked and that the distribution has been smooth nationwide.

He said the committee had signed an MoU with the conversion workshop owners to convert one million petrol vehicles to CNG by 2027.

Leadership reports that by switching to CNG, Nigeria is embracing a cleaner, cheaper and more sustainable fuel alternative that will benefit the economy and the environment. 

The government reportedly aims to distribute one million conversion kits by the end of 2025, ensuring that the country’s commercial transport sector is fully equipped to adopt CNG and reduce dependence on petrol and diesel.
