The CNG Reality Check: Why Nigeria’s Gas Transition is Facing Growing Pains

The CNG Reality Check: Why Nigeria’s Gas Transition is Facing Growing Pains

Are you tired of waiting for the “cheaper fuel” promise to finally reach your neighborhood? While the buzz around Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is everywhere, the actual conversion centers and refueling points are proving much harder to find than many expected.

At Doowe Gas, we believe in giving you the unfiltered truth about the Nigerian energy market. The Federal Government’s Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas (Pi-CNG) is a bold step toward energy independence, but for the average motorist, the path from petrol to gas is currently paved with long queues and infrastructure gaps.

The Problem: A Massive Gap Between Policy and Reality

The goal was simple: use Nigeria’s massive gas reserves to lower transportation costs for everyone. But today, if you live in Northern Nigeria or states like Bayelsa and Plateau, that goal feels very far away.

In cities like Katsina, there isn’t a single service station in sight. In Plateau, despite early talks about land for conversion hubs, progress has stalled. Even in the heart of Lagos, where people are eager to switch, the few available stations are overwhelmed. This isn’t just a logistics issue; it’s a barrier to the economic relief that millions of Nigerians desperately need.

The Agitation: Frustration at the Pump and Safety Worries

If you have already invested your hard-earned money to convert your vehicle, you shouldn’t have to spend half your day in a queue just to refill. In areas like Ogba and Agidingbi, the closure of key outlets has funneled thousands of drivers into single locations, causing massive delays.

The pressure is mounting. Beyond the wait times, there are valid concerns about technical expertise. Without enough certified centers, how can we ensure that every vehicle conversion meets the highest safety standards? As Gbite Falade of Aradel Holdings recently noted, for too long, gas was treated as a “national obligation” rather than a commercial business. When infrastructure isn’t treated as a priority for investment, the end-user—you—is the one who pays the price.

The Solution: Private Investment and Professional Guidance

The narrative is starting to change, but it’s the private sector leading the way. The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) has finally created a framework where gas is treated as a profitable, investable resource.

Where the “Green Lights” are appearing:

  • Sokoto: Progress is being made with new refueling points currently under development.

  • Kano: A major technical hub in Gundutse is now training hundreds of young technicians to handle safe, professional vehicle retrofitting.

  • The Private Shift: Investors like Portland Gas are stepping up to build the centers that the public sector hasn’t yet delivered.
