The process for nationwide deployment of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles has commenced.
Not less than 530 buses are to be deployed by the end of the month in six pioneering states.
These are Oyo, Lagos, Kwara, Kogi, Kaduna, Nasarawa, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.
Programme Director of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGI) Michael Oluwagbemi stated this yesterday.
It was during the event signaling the commencement of 15-day-long activities ahead of the rollout.
He said the distribution is on a demand-led basis. He added that efforts would be accelerated at the conversion of diesel and petrol-fuel engines across the country.
