The Federal Government says Nigeria has about 160 operational Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) refuelling stations and is working to expand capacity further. Multiple reports add that another set of facilities is already in development, alongside efforts aimed at accelerating adoption of CNG as an alternative transport fuel.
Several outlets describe specific steps taken to support the programme. The Federal Government is also converting an abandoned petrol station at the State House in Abuja into a CNG facility, framing it as part of a renewed push. Vanguard also reports broader planning to deploy around 2,000 additional CNG infrastructure units nationwide, while other coverage focuses on reviving fuel stations and converting government vehicles.
Separate state-level plans feature alongside the federal roll-out. The Lagos State Government says it intends to expand CNG refuelling infrastructure to 19 stations by the first quarter of 2027, positioning the move as a way to improve access and reduce queues for fuel. Across the coverage, the shared focus is scaling CNG availability through both federal and subnational infrastructure projects.
