Tinubu Directs MDAs To Procure CNG Vehicles

FILE PHOTO: A CNG bus at the unveiling of the National Gas Expansion Programme and National Autogas Roll-out Initiative on December 2, 2020.“In line with his commitment to ensure energy security, drive utility, and cut high fuel costs, President Bola Tinubu has directed the mandatory procurement of compressed-natural-gas-powered vehicles by all government ministries, departments, and agencies,” Ngelale said.

According to him, the move is part of the country’s efforts to transition to cleaner energy as CNG-enabled vehicles have been adjudged to produce lower emissions, even as they present a more affordable alternative for Nigerian energy consumers.“This nation will not progress forward if we continue to dance on the same spot.

Tinubu also directed the rejection of all memos brought by members of FEC seeking the purchase of traditional petrol-dependent vehicles, tasking the affected members of the council to go back and diligently seek value-driven procurements of CNG-compliant vehicles.
