Ogun State Mass Transit Buses Converted to CNG to Reduce Transportation Cost

By: Ogunleye Oluwapelumi

The Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has announced the conversion of state mass transit buses, including staff buses and public transport buses currently in circulation, to CNG. This move is aimed at reducing the cost of transportation by charging rates that are commensurate with what obtained before subsidy removal.

The CNG project demonstrates the commitment of the administration to a greener environment, and it ensures affordable means of transportation in the state, especially in the wake of the removal of subsidy on fuel by the Federal Government in May.

The conversion of the mass transit buses to CNG is a positive step towards reducing carbon emissions in the state. CNG is a cleaner fuel that produces significantly fewer emissions than traditional gasoline or diesel. This will help to improve air quality in the state and reduce the negative impact of transportation on the environment. Additionally, the conversion will help to make transportation more affordable for residents of Ogun State, especially in the wake of the removal of fuel subsidies by the Federal Government.

The Ogun State Government has demonstrated its commitment to improving the lives of its citizens by investing in sustainable transportation. The conversion of mass transit buses to CNG is a bold move that will have a positive impact on the environment and the economy. It is hoped that other states will follow the example of Ogun State and invest in sustainable transportation to create a cleaner, greener, and more affordable future for all Nigerians.
