  • President rejects all memos for procurement of vehicles powered by fossil fuel 

In a major moved towards transitioning to cleaner energy, Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu has directed all government institutions, including ministries, departments and agencies to procure low carbon emission vehicles that are powered by Compressed-Natural-Gas (CNG).

CNG-enabled vehicles have been adjudged to produce lower emissions, even as they present a more affordable alternative for Nigerian energy consumers.

Addressing members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the State House on Monday, President Tinubu affirmed that there is no turning back in the energy reforms initiated by his administration.

He said this is part of his commitment to ensure energy security, drive utility, and cut high fuel costs,

“This nation will not progress forward if we continue to dance on the same spot. We have the will to drive the implementation of CNG adoption across the country, and we must set the example as public officials in leading the way to that prosperous future that we are working to achieve for our people. It starts with us, and in seeing that we are serious, Nigerians will follow our lead,” the President was quoted as saying in a statement by his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri

The President further directed the rejection of all memos brought by members of FEC seeking the purchase of traditional petrol-dependent vehicles, tasking the affected members of the council to go back and diligently seek value-driven procurements of CNG-compliant vehicles.

“The President remains committed to effectively harnessing the nation’s gas potential, alleviating the burden of high transportation costs on the masses while enhancing the standard of living of all Nigerians,” Ngelale pointed out in his statement.
