Buying CNG in Lagos
The CNG pump attendant at the NIPCO filling station was seen selling the gas to the customer.
Ayofe said:
“Most Danfo buses in Lagos have made the switch to CNG, a cleaner alternative fuel. No time to waste time.”
The video did not mention how much a cubic meter of CNG was sold at the NIPCO filling station, but the fuel is priced between N200 and N260, according to Nagendra Verma, the managing director of NIPCO Gas.

Reactions as bus driver buys CNG
@Pharmozee said:
“Time bomb waiting to explode. If that bus crashes, it will burst into flames instantly, just like aircraft. So safety is zero.”
@Dominator said:
“Most people start condemning this new development. Why our people like this?”
@ola olubisi said:
“Watch how they will start condemning this good initiative. God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Akanbi.”
@ADEGOLD said:
“When I heard it will cost 1.4m to convert my car I run.”
@Pentagon bricks said:
“When the demand is much now, the government will still give another excuse that so so thing is happening at the depot. In other to increase the price.”
Man gives out PMS for free
In a related story, a Nigerian man warmed many hearts on social media after he bought one gallon of fuel and handed it out for free. This came at a time when fuel was being sold at the price of N850 per litre in some places across the country.
The driver who received the free fuel was short of words as he poured it happily into his car and embraced the kind man afterwards.
A lot of Nigerians who saw the video praised the man and said they wished to also encounter him.
