The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has announced that an additional 100 Compressed Natural Gas stations will be rolled out nationwide in the next twelve months.

Managing Director, NNPC Retail Limited, Huub Stokman disclosed this on Thursday at an inauguration of 11 CNG stations simultaneously across locations in Abuja and Lagos.

He said CNG will be 40 percent cheaper than Premium Motor Spirit, known as petrol to Nigerians.

“CNG will be about 40 percent cheaper than petrol in Nigeria. And with continued investments, it could become a significant part of our energy mix.
