The Federal Government has procured and handed over 64, 100-seater capacity compressed natural gas, CNG buses.

The buses were handed over to organised labour and student union leadership in Abuja on Sunday during a brief ceremony at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.

The Federal Government, through the presidency, also made available over 400 compressed natural gas conversion kits handed to private sector transporters in four states as part of efforts to lower the cost of fuelling vehicles used for public transportation.

Newnaija recalls that owing to the outcry from many Nigerians about the hike in transportation costs following the fuel subsidy removal policy, the presidency has been upbeat, trying to convince motorists to convert to CNG to reduce their energy expenses.

The organised labour over the months since the fuel subsidy was removed has consistently harped on the need for the Tinubu-led administration to put palliative measures in place, including a substantial number of CNG vehicles on the road.
