…Directs mandatory procurement of CNG-powered vehicles

“This nation will not progress forward if we continue to dance on the same spot. We have the will to drive the implementation of CNG adoption across the country, and we must set the example as public officials in leading the way to that prosperous future that we are working to achieve for our people. It starts with us, and in seeing that we are serious, Nigerians will follow our lead,” the President stated.

It further stated, “The President further directed the rejection of all memos brought by of FEC seeking the purchase of traditional petrol-dependent vehicles, tasking the affected of the council to go back and diligently seek value-driven procurement’s of CNG-compliant vehicles.

At the end it's all rubbish as CNG price won't still be affordable for the poor masses.

Hmmm

Tinubu is a plague sent to Nigeria

GlorifiedTunde:




Misplaced priorities!

Nonsensical policies!

Fix the real problem and stop beating about the bush, CNG cars is far from the solution!

If only 10% of the cars in Nigeria used CNG, we will definitely have gas shortage, hence homes will not be able to afford buying cooking gas!

Stop running up and down with non-solutions!

CNG is not LPG .

Cooking gas is not natural Gas.

Let's wait and see if they would obey their own rules. This government is the least trustworthy of all that I have seen

Why can't they make import duty on electric cars, solar equipments lower?

Secondly, why do the FEC need another car? Those clowns have more than 5 cars each in their car park and they want government to buy another one for them. Misplaced priority!

Benin is a case study. Over 20,000 CNG vehicles

Will ds reduced the price of gari in the market

Meanwhile, Nigeria is supposed to be an oil exporting nation.
We are not supposed to be encouraging all these CNG and ELECTRIC VEHICLE stuff.
Na who go come buy our oil since the country depends so much on it's sales?

misunderstanding.
