In a bid to make mass transportation more affordable, President Bola Tinubu is projecting a cost of 250 naira per litre for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) — a more cost-efficient alternative to petroleum. 

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, while confirming this to newsmen in Abuja, noted that this was part of the resolution of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative.

Ngelale further noted that the policy, chaired by the Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, will roll out 11,500 new CNG fuel vehicles in the near term, focusing on mass transit systems across all states of the federation.
