Nigeria’s President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has commissioned the first set of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The buses, 20 in number, were manufactured by local car manufacturing company, Innoson Motors.
The CNG buses, the Federal government say, are part of concerted efforts to cushion the negative economic effects of the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government, last year.
Some 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 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Innoson Motors, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, had met with President Tinubu last week at the State House where he promised that CNG vehicles will be on the road in many cities of the federation to ease the transport problem being experienced in the country.
