What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

President Bola Tinubu issued a directive on September 18 regarding the acceleration of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and electric mass transit systems in Nigeria. The President urged state governments to deploy these systems with the goal of achieving measurable reductions in public transportation fares starting October 1. This initiative is part of a strategy to insulate Nigeria from international energy market volatility by utilizing cheaper domestic alternatives to petrol subsidies.
