The CNG Ecosystem Players and the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) has presented a locally-made CNG-powered VIP Bus to the Presidential Fleet to appreciate President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s support for the industry.

The ultra-luxury CNG VIP Bus was inspected by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy of Nigeria, Chief Wale Edun, ahead of the presentation to the Presidential Fleet.

According to Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI), the locally designed and manufactured vehicle was produced in Onitsha and Lagos.

“Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Chief Wale Edun inspects CNG VIP Bus to be presented to the Presidential Fleet by CNG Ecosystem Players with PCNGI Program Director/Chief Executive, Engr. Michael Oluwagbemi in appreciation of the President’s support for the industry,” PCNGI said.1

Tinubu will not allow that vehicle anywhere near his presidential car, because it will be deemed a bomb on wheels.

This is a laudable and audacious achievement.
I hope the bus will always be used in the presidential convoy to convince Nigerians that it's reliable and safe

But my candid question is how long has this technology been tested before sales, I hope it was not hurriedly pushed into the market

How quickly can this help the president crash the price of petrol, which he has failed to do since he hit the ground running 22 months ago.

If ordinary ọmọlúwàbís honour their words, how much more Asiwaju ọmọlúwàbís

Deltafirstson:
Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.

In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.

However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.

On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.

Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.

Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.

At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.

However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.

King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.

On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.

Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.

“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.

……..10 steps backward means that we are regressing since independence.

Abi how many of the luxury things listed below are using CNG? Do we even have the technology for CNG here?

chisomkachy:
Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.

The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.

Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.

The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.

If you had done just a little research on the PCNGI and how well it has fared this far, you won't be asking these questions.

That you came out guns blazing before asking the questions shows where you are mentally.
Bark first talk later.

Gazzuz would have helped convert all my e-hailing vehicles to CNG if he lived any longer. I currently have 3 vehicles on Lagos roads and they use CNG.
I have friends who have vehicles in the e-hailing industry who have done the same.
With CNG you have no business defaulting in paying me

Incidentally, the industry has been fully deregulated and it's more in the hands of government but independent marketers.

Even you can apply for license to import fuel and then decide to sell at N200 per litre. It is a free market situation now
