The Chairman, Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim, disclosed this at a yearly training workshop of the Nigeria Automotive Journalists Association , held in Lagos, over the weekend. Ibrahim said: “Under our NGEP programme, we have what we call the multi-fuel scheme, whereby we do not intend to shut down the current petrol stations we have in the country – about 10,000 of them. Earlier, we carried out an audit where 9,000 out of 10,000 qualify for retrofit to become multi-fuel.

“So, what is going to happen, and we have a couple already in the system, is: you drive into a filling station, you are going to have dispensing facilities for your petrol, diesel, and kerosene. But in addition, you are going to have dispensing facilities with the cryogenic tower that enables you to have access to Liquefied Natural Gas , a dispensing pump for Compressed Natural Gas , and also a charging point for your electric vehicles.

“It becomes a multi-fuel retail outlet that enables you to have access to LNG for your long hauls, CNG for your 300-kilometre maximum, and conventional petrol, diesel and kerosene.”
