President Bola Tinubu has commissioned the first set of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses at the presidential villa, Abuja.
The president performed the ceremony during the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, on Monday.
The 20 buses in the first batch were produced locally by Innoson Motors.
Five of the CNG buses were driven to the forecourt of the presidential villa, while the president took a break from the FEC meeting to commission them.
Provision of CNG buses was part of the demands made by organised labour following the removal of fuel subsidy by Tinubu on May 29, 2023.
Recall that the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Innoson Motors, Chief Innocent Chukwuma, met with Tinubu last at the presidential villa last week.
