President Bola Tinubu on Monday said his administration was determined to satisfy the yearnings of Nigerians on transportation.

The President made the remark while inaugurating 30 hybrid CNG buses donated by Depots and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) to the Federal Government on Monday in Abuja.

“It is a great joy for me to receive these buses on behalf of the government as they represent a significant innovation to the transportation system.

“Utilising natural gas to power our transportation industry is the next way to go.

“With our gas, if we work harder, to be productive and innovative, utilising CNG vehicles is an economic necessity that we should embrace,” he said.

The President said he noted the yearnings of many ordinary Nigerians on transportation, and thanked INNOSON Motors and others who were committed to changing the narrative in the country’s transportation industry.

“If we can enhance our energy competitiveness and bring about transformative changes like this, we will definitely be able to achieve the prosperity that we are working hard to accomplish for our people.

“Countries like India have mandated the use of CNG for commercial vehicles since 2004 and in Nigeria, commercial vehicles make up about 80 per cent of our petrol demand costing us trillions of Naira each month.

“The solution is here. We have it, we will work on it. We promise you, definitely things will get better, prosperity will be achieved,” he said.
