Project director/CEO, PCNGi, Michael Oluwagbemi, disclosed this at the 9th edition of the Nigeria Energy Forum (NEF2024) Day 2, a virtual event in Lagos, with the theme: “Energising sustainable industrialisation”.

According to the PCNGi CEO, the amount goes into things like mother stations, daughter stations and refueling stations as well as conversion centres which are starting to spring up across the nation.
Oluwagbemi, who was represented by Tosin Coker, head of commercial, PCNGi, said the initiative had successfully converted more than 10,000 vehicles from petrol to CNG.

“By 2027, the initiative will have converted more than one million vehicles using petrol to CNG,” he said.
On incidents of explosion of vehicles using CNG, the CEO assured Nigerians that it had taken precautionary measures with different agencies of government to ensure safety.

National coordinator of the GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP), Ibironke Olubamise, managed by UNDP, said the SGP was investing in youth energy innovation for economic growth and environmental sustainability.

NEF group chairman, Daniel Adeuyi, said “The event featured three super sessions on Energising Industrial Revolution, Community Climate Action by GEF-SGP UNDP and Clean Energy Innovations.

“The sessions are to share lessons learnt from real-life projects and build the capacity of young entrepreneurs and cross-industry professionals.”

Director general, National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), Joseph Osanipin, said that the council had trained more than 4,000 auto technicians on how to convert petrol vehicles to CNG.

He said the council had started campaigns to sensitise Nigerians on the advantages of using CNG to power their vehicles.

“CNG can guarantee a cleaner environment, it is cheaper and affordable,” he said.

chairman/managing director, Nord Automobile Ltd., Oluwatobi Ajayi, said the company was established to tackle the growing demand for vehicles in Africa and reduce import dependency.

He said that because of the federal government’s CNG initiative, the company had incorporated it into their vehicle production to meet up with the government policy.

Managing director/CEO, Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI), Armstrong Takang, said MOFI was set up in 1959 as the statutory vehicle to hold all the assets owned by the federal government.

“Today, we’ve been able to identify the assets the federal government owns and we are trying to track them. We do have assets, not just locally but globally as well and we must establish visibility over what the federal government owns before we can start talking about managing them.

“So, we want to try to minimise the waste, minimise the overlaps and help to improve output,” he said.

The NEF co-chair, Adekunle Makinde, said, “The 9th Africa Energy Innovation Challenge (AEIC) attracted over 140 entries from 25 different countries across Africa, with over 99 per cent of entries as first-time participants.
