According to Abiola, the decision is part of the resolutions at the NEC meeting chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Shettima said the federal government will vigorously pursue the mass deployment of CNG and electric vehicles nationwide.

“We will also vigorously pursue the mass deployment of CNG-powered vehicles and establishment of autogas conversion plants/kits in all states in the short-term.

“We will also deploy electric buses and cars with charging infrastructure across the country.”
