President Bola Ahmed 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.
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.
Chukwuma after the meeting called on Nigerians to be patient with President Tinubu and support his administration
The businessman assured that a better Nigeria would emerge under the President’s watch.
“Sometimes, when things are going like this, I decided to come and talk to him and encourage him because people must get patience,” Chukwuma said.
“That this Mr President, I know how he behaves. Everything they want, they will see the better of Nigeria if they give him short time. Let everybody calm down for him. I am begging Nigerians for people to calm down. They will see a better Nigeria from him and I believe that.”
