The Federal Government has took delivery of 60 locally assembled compressed natural gas (CNG) hybrid buses.
The supplier of the buses, Jet Motor Company disclosed in a post made on Thursday via its official X handle.
It said the buses were supplied under the Presidential CNG Initiative,
According to the company, the development is a continuation of efforts to offer Nigerians pleasant and reasonably priced transportation options.
At the company’s car production plant in Ajah, Lagos State, the vehicles were turned over to a team that included members from the Presidential Initiative on CNG (Pi-CNG) and the Ministry of Finance.
In spite of Nigeria’s vast oil and gas resources, President Bola Tinubu’s administration encountered a nation that was only dependent on oil, ignoring its gas resources while subsidizing the cost of fuel, according to a nationwide broadcast he made during the #EndBadGovernance protests against hunger and hardship.
He claimed that, in order to alter the story, his administration had made investments in CNG.
He said his administration would distribute one million kits of extremely low or no cost to commercial vehicles that transport people and goods, and who currently consume 80 per cent of the imported petrol and diesel. (vitalnewsngr.com)
