The Federal Government has declared that the conversion of petrol and diesel-powered commercial vehicles to run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is going to be free of charge.

The Programme Director, Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, MICHAEL OLUWAGBEMI, disclosed this after the government agency signed agreements with various companies in Abuja. 

He explained that the government has identified 123 kit conversion centres across the country, saying the Conversion Incentive programme would be financed from the palliative fund set up by President BOLA TINUBU.

OLUWAGBEMI added that the government has 20,000 conversion kits in stock and targets to convert about 300,000 vehicles annually.
