There are many Nigerians who would want to start using CNG as fuel instead of petroleum motor spirit.
This is because experts have compressed natural gas, which is cheaper than PMS, which is now highly expensive in Nigeria.

Is CNG safe?
Many people have shared their concerns on the safety of CNG, but the PCNGi says on its website:
“It is absolutely safe as a gas. Being lighter than air, in case of a leak, it rises up and disperses into the atmosphere. This property precisely makes it a safe fuel. Furthermore, CNG has a narrow Flammability range, if CNG’s concentration in the air is less than 5% and more than 15%, the gas will not burn even in the presence of a spark.”
How much is CNG in Nigera?
The PCNGi states states that CNG is presently sold at N320 – N350 per comparable litre to PMS. It says:
“The operational cost of vehicles running on CNG, as compared to those running on other fuels, is comparatively low.”
Driver buys CNG
In a related story, a driver who drives a CNG-powered bus was seen at a filling station buying gas for the vehicle.
The man, seen at a NIPCO filling station, opted for CNG instead of the regular premium motor spirit.
Using CNG fuel could be cheaper, as a man also posted another video showing he filled a car cylinder for only N1900.
