The Federal Government has unveiled the Nigerian Gas Vehicle Monitoring System (NGVMS) to promote safety and accountability in the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) sector.

Minister of State Petroleum Resources (Gas), Rt. Hon. Ekperikpe Ekpo, launched the system at an NNPC Retail Station in Abuja.

The NGVMS will ensure that only vehicles converted at accredited facilities with certified kits can access CNG at approved stations.

The system provides end-to-end oversight, from conversion to refuelling, guaranteeing the safety of citizens and the integrity of Nigeria’s growing CNG ecosystem.

Ekpo described the initiative as a milestone under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the Decade of Gas Initiative, aimed at making CNG the affordable and sustainable energy choice for Nigerians.

The Chairman/CEO of the Presidential Initiative on CNG (PiCNG), Ismaeel Ahmed, revealed that over $1 billion in private sector investments has flowed into Nigeria’s CNG value chain.
