Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has unveiled plans to introduce one million Compressed Natural Gas powered vehicles by 2027.<\/p>\n

Special Assistant to the President on Special Duties and Domestic Affairs, Toyin Subaru, disclosed this during a recent stakeholders\u2019 meeting at the Bank of Industry headquarters in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He said that 11,500 CNG-powered buses are expected to be deployed nationwide soon.<\/p>\n

He said the move would address transportation challenges exacerbated by the recent subsidy removal, providing a viable solution to the public.<\/p>\n

The Federal Government assured that the introduction of CNG buses will significantly lower the price of CNG to N230 per kg, making it an affordable and eco-friendly option for the citizens.<\/p>\n

Subaru emphasized that integrating CNG-powered mass transit buses will enable Nigerians to save up to two-thirds of their transportation costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, with this CNG plan, we don\u2019t have to import what we need to operate our vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is called CNG, and we have the gas here in Nigeria. So, the idea is to take the gas and distribute it across Nigeria via different truck stations.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost gas is not CNG enabled yet, and what we are doing is to help them convert their cars so you can use petrol and CNG at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to develop an app that will enable you to locate where a CNG station is located. We should be able to buy gas for our cars at N230 per KG as against the cost of petrol, which is N680 per litre. This should help every Nigerian save about two-thirds of their transport cost,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
