FG buys 70 CNG buses from local manufacturer
The Federal Government has taken delivery of 70 hybrid Jet Mover buses from Jet Motor Company in a bid to enhance the country’s transportation sector.
The Nigerian automobile manufacturer made this disclosure in a statement to The PUNCH on Monday.
The buses, which operate on compressed natural gas and premium motor spirit, are expected to provide affordable and comfortable transportation for Nigerians.
The handover ceremony, held at Jet Motor Company’s plant in Ajah, Lagos State, was attended by officials from the Ministry of Finance and representatives of the Presidential Initiative for Compressed Natural Gas.
The Technical Assistant to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Dimas Hamidu, acknowledged the good quality of the vehicles and commended the company for its good work.
He said the hybrid vehicles were a testimony to the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to alleviate the hardships that may have been brought on by the removal of fuel subsidies.
According to Hamidu, the vehicles will go a long way in helping to solve the transportation needs of the citizens and help to cushion the impact of rising costs on the economy.
