President Bola Tinubu has commissioned the first set of 30 Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, buses at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
They were donated by Depots and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria at the State House in Abuja.
The President said the buses, produced locally by Innoson Motors will help to ease transportation problems, especially in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Five of the CNG buses were driven to the forecourt of the Presidential Villa, where the President took a break from the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting to commission them.
The President stated that CNG transportation is an economic necessity for Nigeria, signalling a significant shift in the country’s approach to public transportation and energy use.
“Utilising natural gas to power Nigeria’s transportation industry is the next way to go,” he stated.
