FG launches portal for vehicle owners to ‘convert to CNG and pay later’

The federal government has launched a website that allows users to convert their petrol-powered vehicles to compressed natural gas (CNG) and pay later.

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) announced the new initiative on its X handle in a statement on Tuesday.

“Switching to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is now more accessible than ever,” NOA said.

“With flexible payment plans tailored to fit your budget, transitioning from petrol to CNG has never been smoother or more affordable.

“These payment options allow you to convert your vehicle now and pay later with affordable monthly instalments at competitive rates.”

The agency said with an easy online application and quick approval process, beneficiaries would be supported every step of the way, to ensure a hassle-free experience.

“Visit: gocng.ng to get started,” NOA said.

According to the agency, the benefits of CNG include cost savings, environmental impact, enhanced engine life, safety and reliability, as well as proven technology with a track record of safety and dependable performance.

On October 7, the federal government launched a portal that would allow youths to access CNG-powered tricycles.

In his remarks, Michael Oluwagbemi, project director and chief executive officer (CEO) of the presidential CNG initiative (P-CNGi) said the initiative would enhance the economic well-being of Nigerians by reducing dependence on petrol.
