It is strange how we celebrate mediocrity in Nigeria
What road-side auto-technicians in Ghana have been doing successfully for 15years is what Austrian firms are coming to help Nigerians do now. And we foolishly claim to know everything more/better than other people! Mtcheeew!

Eh, mister ghanafantasic, if you read only few of the posts it would've been clear that many such gas vehicles conversions already pligh Nigerian roads - none presumably converted by the said Austrian firm. If an individual's intention is to publicise something, they're hardly going to state, for example: Come and buy my Not the best or first Mountain water in a bottle (Ghana sells many and South Africa too)

on a more serious note, I think we really need to sell Nigeria on Jumia or Konga and donate the money to the less-privileged so we can all return to our villages. When serious minded countries are talking of 100% renewable energy conversion and doing away with petrol, here we are still thinking of how to run our city buses on waste gases from our flaring activities. In this jet age, talking about gas flaring is the same as using firewood for cooking, or the old "ogusho" (palm kernel waste) for lightening. so very old school!!

This development is not entirely new in Nigeria.Go to Edo State buses/taxis run on CNG.

NIPCO owns and operates the filling stations.

Even there are vehicles that run on LPG( cooking gas) just that the level of awareness is still low.

Burns cleaner, cheaper/litre, and more efficient.

And there are Mechanics/Technicians that does the conversion.

Vehicle runs on dual fuel( Petrol or Gas ). If no gas filling plant, switch to petrol.

My friend, it is true that most taxis in Ghana use gas, liquefied natural gas that is used for cooking. They buy the gas from LNG filling stations just like users of gas cooking cylinders do.
The gas cylinder is worked/fixed unto the taxis by Ghanaian auto-technicians(mechanics) and they have been doing this for about 15 years now.

How many LNG stations or LNG gas plants do we have in Nigeria, that sell liquefied natural gas directly to end users??

Oga, don't mind him jare, there are vehicles in Nigeria that run on CNG, especially in Edo State. There are several others, that also have been converted to run on LPG, within Lagos and Kano. The awareness is low in Naija, but there are efforts to increase conversion of vehicles and sale of autogas. During the bad petrol scarcity last year, I had a friend who was always on the road, and never queued for fuel. His car could run on LPG, as it had already undergone a conversion process. So he was just filling his car with LPG at the nearest Oando station, and driving off to any destination he chose.

Interesting and good for the nation.

Dont really have complaints right now.
