“After months of detailed planning and background work, the committee driving the initiative is set to deliver on President Tinubu’s vision and promise.

“Already, the committee, being led by Michael Oluwagbemi, an oil and gas expert, has delivered some major foundational reforms to enable the new CNG and Electric Vehicles future the President promised.

“All is now ready for delivery of the first set of critical assets for deployment and launch of the CNG initiative ahead of the first anniversary of the Tinubu administration on May 29.”

The FG said that the deployment of CNG buses and tricycles and its vision to get at least one million natural gas propelled vehicles on the roads by 2027 will gradually phase out the use of the more expensive diesel and PMS (petrol).
