Lagos, Nigeria
• Lagos is the most populous city in Africa – over 20 million inhabitants
• Bigger in population than 23 countries in Africa – Benin Rep., Mali, Botswana etc.
• Hub of nation’s economic, commercial and industrial activities.
• Contributes 20% of Nigeria’s GDP• Larger economy than Ivory coast, Ghana,
Madagascar etc.• 45% of nation’s skilled manpower reside in
the city.

Contributes to Air & Noise pollution in
Lagos
Lagos, Nigeria Demand for trips in Lagos Metropolitan Area by all modes (including
walking) was ~22million per day. Walk trips accounted for 40% of total trips in Metropolitan Lagos. About 97% of all transit in Lagos are done by road.

Environmental Impact
In 2011, Nigeria had the fourth highest CO2 emission from fuel combustion in Africa after South Africa, Egypt and Algeria respectively.
The transport sector, with a 45% share, was the largest contributor to a nationwide CO2 emission from fuel combustion of 52.8 million tonnes that year.
5
The Lagos Air Quality Monitoring Study (2007-2009) revealed that vehicles contribute approximately 43% to the total level of air pollution in Lagos.
Over a quarter of the transport sector contribution to CO2 emissions in Nigeria comes from Lagos alone.
The emission factors for many Nigerian vehicles are close to the Euro 2 Standards, which is 3 to 4 times greater than European values.

CO2 Emissions in LagosEnvironmental Impact
By the year 2032, CO2 emissions by the transport sector in Lagos are estimated to exceed 15 Million tonnes per annum if measures are not put in place to curtail it.

The Big Moves in Lagos towards a Sustainable Urban Transport System
Develop a fully integrated mass rapid transit system to cover activity centers identified Strategic Transport Master Plan (STMP) of the mega city region
Six Rail Lines ─ One Monorail Line 16 BRT Routes ─ Over 20 water routes Key road projects
Introduce a common ticketing system to aid integration of public transport modes.
Develop the waterways transport network to integrate with Rail and BRT.
Develop a ring road around Metropolitan Lagos to take pressure away from the mainland.
Use of ITS technology to optimize the transport network.10

• Execution of projects within the STMP will result in an emission level less than 8 Million tonnes per annum, which represents over 50% reduction in emissions from the 2032BAU level.

12Financing/Working with
Manufacturers Lagos State government commenced
discussions with Nigerian Independent Petroleum Company (NIPCO) on conversion of some diesel buses to CNG
Only about 5000 vehicles use CNG as fuel in Nigeria since the inception of the project in 2009
CNG buses is already in use at Benin city, Edo State of Nigeria
LAMATA is proposing five CNG buses on its BRT corridor for test run. Only about 500 vehicles run on CNG in Lagos
13Key barriers and
challenges to date Nigeria is a gas-rich country, usage of CNG will
help reduce Governments’ dependence on the importation of refined products
However, use of CNG powered buses is still at infancy in the country
Lack of political will to support investment in the use of CNG to power vehicles
The moderate achievement in this regard is from few private investors
14Key barriers and
challenges to date The cost of conversion and availability of gas
are some of the major challenges of this scheme
Cost of conversion to become CNG compatible cost between $1000 and $1,500
15Next Steps
It is believed that a policy direction from the Central government could accelerate use of CNG to power vehicles in Nigeria.
Advocacy from UNEP and groups such as this to create awareness that CNG powered vehicles as economical, safer, flexible and eco-friendly
