President Bola Tinubu has commissioned the first set of Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, buses at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The buses, numbering 20 in the first batch, were produced locally by Innoson Motors.
The government said it was optimistic that the buses will help to ease transportation problems, 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.
Recall that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Innoson Motors, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, met with Tinubu last week at the Presidential Villa.
