Tinubu inaugurates 30 CNG bus with 3,000 passenger capacity, reveals energy innovation will bring prosperity

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has inaugurated 3,000 capacity CNG bus.

This was conveyed in the statement issued out by the special adviser to the president on media and publicity Chief Anjuri Ngalale on 12th of August, 2024.

The statement reads,

“President Bola Tinubu on Monday in Abuja inaugurated 30 hybrid Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered buses with the capacity to transport 3,000 passengers.

The locally-manufactured buses were donated to the federal government by the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

Speaking at the inauguration, the President said utilizing natural gas to power the nation’s transportation industry would reduce transportation costs, enhance productivity, and save the nation trillions of naira spent on the importation of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) and Automotive Gas Oil (AGO).

”If we can enhance our energy competitiveness and bring about transformative changes like this, we would definitely be able to achieve the prosperity that we are working hard to accomplish for our people.

”These CNG buses are promising and will enhance our transportation system,” the President said.

President Tinubu noted that commercial vehicles account for about 80 percent of the nation’s petroleum demand, citing examples of several countries that have switched to CNG for their transportation systems and are already reaping the benefits.

”The solution is here. We have it. We will work on it. We promise you, definitely, things will get better. Prosperity will be achieved,” the President said.

President Tinubu commended Innoson Motors, the manufacturer of the vehicles, for its commitment to the CNG initiative of his administration.
