The Federal Government, under the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi), is giving Lagos residents the opportunity to convert their vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) for free on Friday, September 13.

Oluwaseun Osiyemi, Lagos State commissioner for transportation, announced on Thursday through his official X account (formerly Twitter), urging Lagosians to seize this rare opportunity.

The conversion event will take place between 3 pm and 6 pm at six designated locations as part of the “Operation First Come, First Serve” program.
