President Bola Tinubu has mandated all government bodies to procure vehicles powered by Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
A statement from the President’s Special Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, emphasized that this directive aligns with Nigeria’s push towards cleaner energy sources, citing the lower emissions and cost-effectiveness of CNG vehicles.
Speaking at the Federal Executive Council meeting, President Tinubu stressed the importance of driving energy reforms forward for national progress.
“We cannot afford to stagnate. embracing CNG adoption is crucial for our country’s future prosperity, and as public servants, we must lead by example,” Tinubu said.
Furthermore, the President instructed the rejection of proposals for petrol-fueled vehicles within the FEC, urging members to prioritize CNG-compatible alternatives.
Tinubu’s commitment to leveraging Nigeria’s gas reserves aims to reduce transportation expenses for citizens and improve overall quality of life.
