After deceptively encouraging the evergreen gullible masses to convert to CNG. Then the EVILs will start hiking the price and milking them.

Well as for me the Universe Special Own. I'm always well positioned for the ways of men.

Do you know centers that do CNG conversion training in Lagos?

Oyo government receives 20 CNG buses from FG

The CNG buses were presented to Pacesetter Transport Service (PTS), an agency of the state government

by Toheeb Babalola September 3, 2024

The Oyo State Government has received 20 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses from the federal government to ease the pressure brought on commuters by the increase in petrol price.

Micheal Oluwagbemi, the chief executive officer and programme director of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGI), presented the buses to the Pacesetter Transport Service (PTS), an agency of the state government, in Eleyele, Ibadan.

“We present these 20 buses as part of a sustainable partnership with Pacesetter Transport Service to generate income, as they are valuable assets.

“We need more such investments to ensure a more sustainable mass transit system, contributing to a brighter future for the state and Nigeria,” he said.

Mr Oluwagbemi said President Bola Tinubu had urged technicians and engineers to use gas resources to advance the transportation industry.

“We are starting to take the right steps, though it requires us to endure some challenges. We cannot return to subsidising our own impoverishment. As a team, we are committed to this effort.”

Ibraheem Salami, chairman and sole administrator of PTS, accepted the CNG buses on behalf of the state government and thanked the federal government and Mr Tinubu for the initiative.

He said that the agency had only five operational buses when he took office, but the number has since increased to 81.

Mr Salami said CNG is the best solution to the state’s transportation problems, noting that Governor Seyi Makinde backs the project to mitigate the effects of subsidy removal.

He requested that the P-CNGI provide an additional 100 CNG buses to cover more routes within the state.

Well, I've been following the news and most governors are singing a different song.

Omalicious1:
Well they should come out with more elaborate plan that would involve the governors and even the Commissioner for Works in the 36 states.

Yampotatocarrot:
There are "too many"?

No, that's wrong... You'll find out most of the stations are situated in Edo state, because the CNG initiative has been on ground in the state for years

Let's take Imo for example, how will one refill after converting to CNG... I believe government should just concentrate on those states where the filling stations are much, then stations are built in other states, they move in

Taigaban:
Are you people not tired of this CNG stories?

jmoore:
CTRL + C and CTRL + V on your computer keyboard should do that.

Not a huge task.

jmoore:
Too many? Dey play.

Something that doesn't cover up to 15% of area in the whole country.

Omalicious1:
Distribution to 2000 youths in the country, not even in a state?

GAZZUZZ:
It is a dual fuel system, once you run out of gas, the system automatically switches to petrol without asking you and without the engine going off

"The CNG vehicles are a solution, that's why we produce them. We made space for CNG, LNG, and Fuel so that anyone available in an area can be used to drive the vehicles. Electric cars, biogas, and solar-powered vehicles are also produced in this factory".

This is not correct. 1: Note this and you can verify from my media because I monitored all the centers in Abuja today with the National Coordinator of PCNG. For commercial drivers, it is Free of Charge.

2: check my media that I interacted with NIPCO Branch Manager too.

3: For individuals, nothing like 1.2m Whatsoever, payment dey small small. Why are our people dey mislead others like this

8 states (Oyo, Lagos, Ogun, Edo, Delta, Kogi, FCT, Nasarawa) that have been activated for Conversion Incentive Program by
@PCNGInitiative . Next 9 states will be Kwara, Ekiti, Osun, Niger, Rivers, Kano, Akwa Ibom, Abia and Enugu..before end of 2024
