Earlier on Friday, Vice President @KashimSM toured automobile giant @ScaniaGroup’s headquarters in Södertälje, Sweden, describing it as a strategic engagement to discuss Nigeria's market potential and explore deeper collaboration opportunities.

Exploring biofuel solutions for Nigeria's transport sector, VP @KashimSM stressed that all options must be on the table to address Nigeria's transportation challenges.

This, he said, aligns with President @officialABAT's push for cleaner and more efficient transportation, especially considering the recent emphasis on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).

Kai! Ignorance!

Scania has hosted a meeting in Lagos where they spoke about establishing BRT systems in Nigeria (they are already running BRT systems in other West African countries).

They would get funding for the BRT lanes and they would provide buses that run on green fuel.

Specifically, they are talking about getting CNG from rotting garbage and that will be the fuel that will power the buses.

Scania will provide the funds (that's why it's called an investment), yet somebody is talking about purchasing buses, can you imagine that?

We will continue with hydrocarbons until the entire planet has left it, then we'll drink it. We don't need to plan for the future.

Saudi Arabia, Norway, the UK, the US, etc are preparing for energy transition, but we don't need to prepare, we only need to sit on our hands.

(Methane/CNG can also be gotten from rotting garbage).

I don't understand the suit both men are wearing, trying to look dapper . Nigeria Government officials especially those in senior position should always wear their native wears... It is a way to promote your culture ...
