Nigerian Motorists: Buy Petrol At N1,000 Or CNG At N200 – Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has announced that Nigerian motorists now have the option of purchasing petrol at N1,000 per litre or switching to compressed natural gas (CNG) at a far lower rate of N200 per Standard Cubic Meter.
This development is part of the government’s ongoing push for a nationwide shift to cleaner, more affordable energy sources.

Speaking during a meeting with executives of the Nigerian Independent Petroleum Company (NIPCO) at the State House in Abuja, President Tinubu praised the company’s role in supporting the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI), which is aimed at reducing reliance on petrol and lowering fuel costs for consumers.
“We are giving Nigerians the choice to buy petrol at N1,000 per litre or switch to gas at N200 per cubic meter,” Tinubu stated, according to a statement by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga.
“Additionally, we are offering free conversion for commercial motorists to help them transition from petrol to gas.”
The government’s strategy to promote CNG aligns with its broader objectives of energy security and economic diversification.
Tinubu underscored the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors in driving the country’s energy transition, describing NIPCO’s contributions as key to the success of the “Switch to CNG” campaign, which has raised awareness and provided affordable conversion kits to the public.
“CNG is not only more cost-effective but also environmentally cleaner, helping reduce our carbon emissions while saving Nigerians money on fuel,” Tinubu added.
The President reiterated his administration’s commitment to creating a favorable investment environment and expanding Nigeria’s CNG infrastructure, a move expected to boost energy efficiency and contribute to economic growth.
As fuel prices continue to rise, the government sees CNG as a sustainable and affordable alternative that could help ease the burden on consumers while contributing to the nation’s broader energy transition goals.
