Tinubu orders MDAs to stop buying petrol dependent vehicles

President Bola Tinubu has issued a directive to all government ministries, departments, and agencies to transition from petrol-powered vehicles to compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered vehicles.

This move aligns with the President’s commitment to ensuring energy security, reducing fuel costs, and promoting cleaner energy.

According to Special Adviser to the President (Media & Publicity) Ajuri Ngelale, the directive is part of Nigeria’s effort to transition to cleaner energy, as CNG-enabled vehicles produce lower emissions and offer a more affordable alternative for energy consumers.

Addressing the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Monday, President Tinubu emphasized the need for progress and leadership in driving the adoption of CNG across the country.

He stated, “We must set the example as public officials and lead the way to a prosperous future for our people. The rejection of memos seeking the purchase of traditional petrol-dependent vehicles will be enforced, and affected council members are directed to seek value-driven procurements of CNG-compliant vehicles instead.”

The President remains committed to harnessing Nigeria’s gas potential, alleviating the burden of high transportation costs on the masses, and enhancing the standard of living for all Nigerians
