The Federal Government of Nigeria has commissioned an integrated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) refueling station at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile-Ife, as part of efforts to boost domestic gas supply and promote cleaner energy alternatives.
At the inauguration, Oluwole Adama, Executive Director of the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund, described the development as a significant step toward advancing Nigeria’s gas-powered energy transition.
He emphasized that the facility is more than a refueling station, reflecting progress, collaboration, and a commitment to expanding domestic gas utilization in line with national energy goals.
“This project represents more than the commissioning of a refueling station. It symbolizes progress, partnership, and purpose in advancing Nigeria’s energy transition, promoting cleaner fuels, and deepening domestic gas utilization in line with national energy objectives,” Adama stated.
Prof. Adebayo Simeon Bamire, Vice-Chancellor of the university, lauded the initiative, noting that the facility will benefit both the university community and local residents.
He added that the project would provide opportunities for research, hands-on learning, and innovation in alternative energy solutions.
