Mr.Innocent Chukwma , the founder and chief executive officer of Innoson manufacturing company after meeting with President Bola Tinubu has promised the general public that they will soon be benefiting a cheaper transportation through compressed Natural gas-powered buses.
The CEO also begged Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu’s Administration, he said his administration needs time to build something new.
He made this statement to journalists after he emerged from the closed door meeting he had with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, in Abuja on Thursday. He also described the governmental CNG as a means to “moving Nigerian forward”.
He said, “I’ve discussed with him (President Tinubu), and soon the masses will have plenty of CNG buses on the road,”
He also explained, “The government’s initiative on CNG is the best idea for transportation in this country because CNG offers many benefits for Nigeria”.
“That benefit is what I recognised before I started the factory to produce vehicles that run on CNG. I began producing CNG kits before the announcement”.
“So today, everyone who tries CNG will find that it is the way forward for this nation.”
The president also admitted that despite the fact that the country has abundant oil and gas resources, it has been relying solely on oil-based petroleum. He assured that CNG will save that country from spending N2 trillion monthly on petrol.
“We were also using our hard-earned foreign exchange to pay for and subsidise its use.
“To address this, we have launched our Compressed Natural Gas Initiative to power our transportation economy and reduce costs.
“This will save over two trillion Naira a month, which is currently used to import PMS and AGO, and free up our resources for greater investment in healthcare and education,” said Tinubu.
