Handing over the CNG buses to the State House, the Chairman of the Presidential CNG Initiative Steering Committee, Zacch Adedeji, represented by the Chief Executive Officer of the Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) Farouk Ahmed, said that Valued Added Tax on the CNG buses purchase has been waived.<\/p>\n

He said the buses are a symbol of Tinubu administration\u2019s commitment to spearheading an energy revolution.<\/p>\n

Project Director of the Presidential CNG Initiative, Engr Micheal Oluwagbemi, said state governments had already indicated investment interest in the CNG buses.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the cost of conversion, Oluwagbemi revealed that the current cost of conversion varies from the model and type of vehicle, he added that the president has ensured that as part of PCNGI, the committee will incentivize the cost for the Nigerian populace.<\/p>\n
