President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced the national rollout of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and electric bus initiatives across several Nigerian states. This effort is intended to provide affordable transportation alternatives following the removal of the petrol subsidy. Specific rollouts include 15 buses in Ekiti State, 50 in Akwa Ibom, and 30 CNG buses in Kano. Furthermore, over 400 certified centers have converted more than 120,000 vehicles to CNG.
