In a landmark move aimed at accelerating Nigeria’s transition to cleaner energy and sustainable transportation, the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi) has officially transferred a fleet of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), buses to the Office of the Accountant General (AG), of the Federation.
At the handover ceremony, the Accountant General, Mr. Shamseldeen Ogunjimi, commended the initiative, describing it as a visionary step in Nigeria’s ongoing quest for energy efficiency and environmental stewardship.
He praised the PCNGi for its commitment to reducing carbon emissions while enhancing public transport options for Nigerians.
“This is a significant stride towards achieving a greener, more sustainable future for our nation,” Ogunjimi stated, adding that “It not only aligns with our energy transition agenda but also signals a future where clean energy solutions become mainstream in our public service operations.”
The move is part of a broader federal push to embrace alternative energy sources, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and promote economic resilience through green initiatives.
It also underscores the government’s resolve to integrate environmentally friendly solutions into critical sectors, including transportation.
The PCNGi team expressed optimism that the deployment of the CNG buses will serve as a catalyst for wider adoption of clean energy vehicles across the country, in line with Nigeria’s commitment to global climate action goals.
