In a bold move to boost clean energy adoption, 11Plc, formerly known as Mobil, has launched multiple compressed natural gas (CNG) stations across Lagos and Oyo States, positioning itself as a major player in Nigeria’s evolving energy landscape.

The company revealed the development in a statement on May 18, 2025, noting that the expansion aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s energy security agenda.

Aminu Abdulkadir, 11Plc’s non-executive director, emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. “We are promoting cleaner energy sources and reducing dependence on conventional fuels,” he said.

The firm also reported a significant nationwide increase in its LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) marketing skids, aimed at improving access to clean cooking gas and reducing greenhouse emissions.

“By investing in CNG and LPG infrastructure, we are creating jobs, stimulating economic growth, and improving lives in our host communities,” Abdulkadir added.

With motorists now forming long queues at CNG stations amid rising fuel costs, 11Plc’s clean energy drive is seen as a timely intervention. The company’s expansion puts it in direct competition with government-backed players like NNPC and NIPCO.

“11Plc’s expanded clean energy initiatives are a significant step towards promoting sustainability and reducing dependence on traditional fuels,” the company stated, reinforcing its ambition to lead in innovation and clean energy service delivery.

This push comes as the Federal Government’s Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) targets the rollout of 175 new CNG stations within the next 18 months to accelerate the adoption of alternative fuel options across the country.
