“Utilizing natural gas to power our transportation industry is the next way to go. For many countries especially Nigeria, with our own gas, if we work harder, be productive and innovative, it is an economic necessity that we should embrace.
“I noted the recent yearnings of many ordinary Nigerians on transportation. I thank INNOSON Motors and others we have been committed to change this narrative in this country.
Also speaking, Chairman of DAPPMAN, Winifred Akpani, said each of the buses, manufactured and delivered by Innoson Motors, is capable of transporting 100 people with alternatives of diesel usage.
“These are hybrid buses that will run on CNG. Each of these buses are capable transporting 100 people and they also have alternative use of diesel.
“We believe that these buses will be put to use especially since we know that more donations are coming and we thank the President for this opportunity.”
