Its primary mandate is to fast-track Nigeria’s transition to cleaner, more affordable, and sustainable transportation energy sources following the removal of fuel subsidies.
Reducing transportation costs for commuters and vehicle owners by promoting CNG as a cheaper alternative to petrol and diesel.

Leveraging Nigeria’s vast domestic natural gas reserves to reduce dependency on imported petroleum.
Facilitating the deployment of CNG-powered mass transit buses and establishing a nationwide network of refueling stations and conversion centers.
A specific goal to have one million gas-powered vehicles on Nigerian roads by the end of 2027 through conversion programs and new vehicle assembly.
The initiative operates under the Renewed Hope Agenda and includes the Commercial Vehicle Conversion Incentive Program (CV-CIP), which provides free or highly discounted conversion kits for transporters.
