the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has said that Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is 40 per cent cheaper than Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in Nigeria.

Managing Director, NNPC Retail Limited, HUUB STOKMAN, revealed this while commissioning 12 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations in Lagos and Abuja.

STOKMAN also revealed that in the next year, NNPC Retail would have launched over 100 CNG sites, including 16 NNPCL Gas Marketing and NIPCO Gas Joint Venture sites.
