While disclosing this in a statement, Temitope Ajayi, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Bola Tinubu, said JET, which is located in Lagos, is one of the four assembly plants picked by the PCNGi to assemble semi-knocked-down components of climate-friendly CNG and electric buses and tricycles, which will soon be rolled out to cut down transportation costs. According to him, JET also has the capacity to convert petrol buses to CNG.
“I have come to see the CNG buses that Nigerians are asking about. I have seen them. I have tested them and driven them. I have seen them being assembled. The benefits will soon be available to Nigerians,” Edun said. The Minister said the PCNGi is about mass transit that is affordable. 'Two critical aims will be achieved. Whereas it costs about N55,000 to fill a 15-20 seater bus with petrol, it will cost between N12,000 and N15,000 to fill a CNG bus of the same capacity.
