As part of the efforts to ease transportation problems in Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu on Monday, August 12, 2024, commissioned the first batch of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The buses numbering 20 in the first set were produced locally by Innoson Motors. Tinubu, while commissioning the buses said that he was optimistic that they would help to ease transportation problems, especially in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Some 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 organized labour following the removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government on May 29, 2023.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Innoson Motors, Chief Innocent Chukwuma met with Tinubu last week at the Presidential Villa.
