In a significant move towards promoting cleaner and more sustainable transportation, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu today commissioned a fleet of Hybrid Power Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses at the State House. These buses were presented by the Depots and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN), highlighting a collaborative effort to transition the nation towards greener energy solutions.
The buses, which were locally assembled by Innoson Vehicles, represent a milestone in Nigeria’s automotive and energy sectors. The collaboration between DAPPMAN and Innoson Vehicles underscores the potential for local industries to drive innovation and sustainable development.
During the commissioning ceremony, President Tinubu lauded the initiative as a step forward in reducing Nigeria’s carbon footprint while also fostering local manufacturing. He emphasized the importance of such partnerships in achieving the country’s broader economic and environmental goals.
The Hybrid Power CNG buses are expected to be deployed across various states, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fuel-powered vehicles. This initiative aligns with the government’s broader strategy to diversify Nigeria’s energy mix and support domestic production capabilities.
The commissioning of these buses marks a pivotal moment in Nigeria’s journey towards sustainability, showcasing the nation’s capacity to embrace and implement cleaner energy solutions.
