The Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF) has concluded high-level talks with Chinese manufacturing giant Endurance Group to deliver 500 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) refuelling stations across Nigeria over the next three years one of the country’s most ambitious clean-fuel infrastructure projects to date.
Speaking with journalists after the meeting in Abuja, MDGIF Executive Director, Mr. Oluwole Adama, said the discussions centered on creating a government-backed Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) designed to fast-track the nationwide rollout of CNG facilities and strengthen the backbone of Nigeria’s gas mobility sector.
“The collaboration underscores the parties’ commitment to accelerating Nigeria’s transition to cleaner fuels by addressing infrastructure gaps across the country’s CNG value chain,” Adama said.
He disclosed that the newly formed entity, Compressed Natural Gas Auto Mobility Infrastructure Company (CAM InfraCo), will serve as the primary implementation platform for the project.
“Under this agreement, we will set up the Compressed Natural Gas Auto Mobility Infrastructure Company (CAM InfraCo), which will be used to deploy 500 integrated CNG refuelling stations, develop LCNG gas supply infrastructure, and provide CNG and LNG transportation trucks with truck-mounted cascades, forming a virtual pipeline across all states nationwide,” he explained.
The initiative is expected to significantly boost Nigeria’s clean energy transition efforts, lower transportation costs, and support the Federal Government’s push to diversify energy sources amid global shifts toward low-carbon mobility solutions.
Industry stakeholders say the deployment of 500 stations could be a game-changer for the adoption of CNG-powered vehicles, providing the scale and accessibility required to reduce reliance on petrol and diesel nationwide.
