The Federal Government of Nigeria has launched the first set of Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, buses at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.The buses were produced locally by Innoson Motors.
While commissioning the buses President Tinubu said the Federal Government was optimistic that the buses will help to ease transportation challenges, especially in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Five 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 provision of the CNG buses is part of the demands made by organised labour following the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government on May 29, 2023.
