Slow Rollout of Innoson CNG Cars Sparks Complaints from Nigerians After Tinubu’s Launch.
President Bola Tinubu launched the first phase of locally produced CNG buses by Innoson Motors to address Nigeria’s transportation challenges and reduce reliance on petrol. However, the rollout has been slow, with only 20 buses presented so far. Conversion centers for petrol vehicles to CNG are limited, and the high conversion cost, ranging from N750,000 to N950,000, has deterred many private vehicle owners. While the initiative is seen as a positive step, there are concerns about its accessibility and the overall impact on easing transportation costs.
