Understand what the programme does, who it is designed to support, how it is delivered and the legal framework behind it.
See where the programme operates, who is eligible to access it and how support moves from application through assessment and delivery.
Vehicle owners and other eligible participants identify the applicable Pi-CNG & EV intervention and confirm the requirements for participation.
The vehicle or applicant is assessed according to the requirements of the applicable conversion, financing or mobility programme.
Eligible vehicles are converted to CNG through certified conversion centres using approved automotive components and qualified technicians.
The converted vehicle and installed system are subject to the applicable inspection, certification and safety requirements.
Users access the supporting clean-mobility ecosystem, including CNG refuelling infrastructure and, where applicable, electric-vehicle and charging infrastructure.
Key figures from official programme reporting, shown with their reporting dates and evidence basis so that scale is not confused with independently measured impact.
Official programme reporting indicates substantial expansion of Nigeria's CNG transport ecosystem, including more than 120,000 vehicle conversions, over 400 certified conversion centres and more than 90 CNG refuelling stations. The programme also reports technician training, employment generation and deployment of CNG and electric vehicles as part of its wider clean-mobility strategy. In March 2026, the federal mandate was expanded to formally include electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure.
Independent evidence on the programme's long-term effects on household transport costs, vehicle operating costs, employment, emissions and sustained adoption remains limited in the sources reviewed. Current evidence is predominantly programme and government reporting, so reported outputs should be distinguished from independently measured long-term outcomes.

What the Record Establishes
Clear answers about the programme, eligibility, delivery, application process and how to access support safely.
The Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas and Electric Vehicles (Pi-CNG & EV) is a federal clean-mobility initiative covering CNG vehicle conversion, refuelling infrastructure, CNG-enabled transport and the development of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
Vehicle owners and operators can access applicable CNG conversion programmes through certified conversion centres. Commercial and ride-share operators may also qualify for specific incentives, while eligibility varies according to the particular programme or intervention.
Use a Pi-CNG-certified conversion centre and have the vehicle assessed and converted by qualified technicians using approved automotive CNG equipment. Do not use informal technicians or improvised cylinders and components.
There is no single conversion price for every vehicle. Cost varies according to vehicle type, kit specification and the applicable programme. Subsidised or supported conversion options may be available through government programmes and financing arrangements.
Use the official Pi-CNG & EV network directories and map to locate certified conversion centres and CNG refuelling stations. The current network includes facilities across multiple states, with the official station directory listing 91 stations across 23 states.
CNG conversion must be carried out using approved automotive components at an accredited conversion centre. Vehicle owners should never use fabricated, expired or unauthorised cylinders or components. The Pi-CNG & EV programme has specifically warned motorists against unsafe conversions.
The programme reports that CNG can reduce fuel and operating costs, but actual savings depend on factors such as vehicle type, mileage, fuel consumption, CNG availability and the price paid for CNG. Programme-reported savings should therefore not be treated as a guaranteed amount for every vehicle owner.
Access the programme through its official website and service portal. Never rely on unofficial agents or links when submitting personal or financial information.

Access ProgrammeUse only official Pi-CNG & EV channels and certified conversion centres. Do not pay unofficial agents claiming they can secure a government conversion slot or benefit, and do not use unauthorised technicians, fabricated cylinders or unapproved CNG components. Pi-CNG & EV specifically advises motorists to use NADDC-accredited conversion centres and SON-certified CNG kits and cylinders.
