President Bola Tinubu has commissioned the first set of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The initial batch of 20 buses was produced locally by Innoson Motors, marking a significant step in the government’s efforts to promote alternative energy sources.
Some of these CNG buses were driven to the forecourt of the Presidential Villa, where President Tinubu briefly paused the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting to formally commission them. This initiative is part of the Federal Government’s strategy to alleviate the impact of the recent fuel subsidy removal on the populace.
The commissioning follows a recent meeting between President Tinubu and Chief Innocent Chukwuma, the Chairman and CEO of Innoson Motors, at the State House. During the meeting, Chief Chukwuma assured journalists that CNG vehicles would soon be operational in many cities across the country, helping to address the ongoing transportation challenges.
