Five days after President Bola Tinubu renewed the Federal Government’s promise on Compressed Natural Gas-powered buses., the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing, Mr Innocent Chukwuma, has paid him a visit in the Aso Villa, Abuja.
He announced that Nigerians will soon benefit from cheaper transportation through CNG-powered buses.
This is as he also urged Nigerians to exercise patience with the Bola Tinubu administration, asking them to “give him time.”
“I’ve discussed with him (President Tinubu), and soon the masses will have plenty of CNG buses on the road,” Mr Chukwuma told journalists after emerging from closed-door talks with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday.
The automobile entrepreneur described the Presidential CNG Initiative as “the way forward” for the country.
He explained, “The government’s initiative on CNG is the best idea for transportation in this country because CNG offers many benefits for Nigeria.
“That benefit is what I recognised before I started the factory to produce vehicles that run on CNG. I began producing CNG kits before the announcement.
“So today, everyone who tries CNG will find that it is the way forward for this nation.”
