Nigeria has launched the “10-for-10 Campaign,” a bold initiative to convert 10,000 commercial vehicles to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) within 10 weeks. The program, unveiled by the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) on January 16, 2025, will run until March 31, targeting Lagos and Abuja.

The campaign seeks to alleviate rising fuel costs while tackling environmental pollution by promoting cleaner, more affordable energy sources. “This initiative is a transformative step toward sustainable transportation,” said Dr. Adamu Umar, PCNGI’s coordinator. “It reduces fuel costs for operators and helps Nigeria achieve its energy transition goals.”

Free Conversions for Operators

Commercial vehicle operators in Lagos and Abuja are eligible for free CNG conversions under the program. This is expected to significantly cut fuel expenses, improve air quality, and provide smoother commutes for residents. Nigeria has already converted over 100,000 vehicles to CNG or bi-fuel systems by the end of 2024, setting a strong precedent for this ambitious campaign.

Boosting Economic Opportunities

The initiative is underpinned by significant investments of over $200 million in CNG infrastructure. This funding has driven the establishment of more than 140 CNG conversion centers nationwide, up from just seven in 2023. By 2026, the PCNGI plans to open over 1,000 centers, creating thousands of job opportunities in the process.

Currently, over 2,000 Nigerians are employed in the CNG conversion industry. The government projects this number to rise as the program scales up. This is more than a transition; it’s an economic revolution. Nigeria is positioning itself as a leader in green energy innovation.”

A Cleaner, Greener Future

The program aligns with Nigeria’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint while enhancing the livelihoods of its citizens. Vehicle operators stand to save up to 50% on fuel costs by switching to CNG, according to government estimates. Experts believe this could reduce Nigeria’s annual greenhouse gas emissions by millions of tonnes, accelerating the country’s journey toward energy sustainability.
