Driving Nigeria’s Transition to Cleaner Energy

The launch of CALM FUND comes at a crucial time when Nigeria is pushing for a shift to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as an alternative to petrol.

With fuel subsidies removed and petrol prices skyrocketing, the government has intensified efforts to promote CNG adoption, positioning it as a cheaper and more sustainable fuel option.

President Bola Tinubu’s administration has announced various incentives and policy frameworks to encourage the transition, including the development of CNG refuelling stations and tax reliefs for CNG-powered vehicles.

However, the high cost of conversion remains a major barrier for many Nigerians.

By offering a flexible payment structure, CALM FUND directly addresses this challenge, making CNG conversion more accessible to private vehicle owners, commercial transport operators, and businesses.

It aligns with the broader goal of reducing dependence on petrol, cutting transportation costs, and lowering carbon emissions in line with Nigeria’s environmental sustainability commitments.

As the nation continues to explore cleaner, more affordable energy solutions, initiatives like CALM FUND play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between policy and practical adoption, ensuring that more Nigerians can benefit from cost-effective, environmentally friendly transportation.
