The partnership aims to expand access to CNG, a cleaner and more affordable alternative fuel, to motorists and industries across the country.

Highlighting the company’s commitment to CNG development and expansion since 2009, Verma noted that NIPCO Gas has gradually expanded its autoCNG network from Benin City to Ibafo in Ogun State, Kogi State, Abuja FCT, Ibadan in Oyo State, and Oron in Akwa Ibom State.<\/p>\n
Presently, NIPCO Gas operates 15 autoCNG stations nationwide, facilitating long-distance travel for CNG vehicles. Verma emphasized the significance of the partnership with NNPC, expressing gratitude for the trust and support received from the government and various stakeholders.<\/p>\n
