On Thursday, George Akume, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, emphasised that the present administration has accomplished notable milestones that have improved the everyday lives of the citizens.
He made these disclosures while highlighting the achievements of the current administration in line with forthcoming independence celebration.
“Before I unveil the approved programme of activities, I wish to mention a few of the accomplishments of this administration that impact our citizens in their daily lives. Recently, President Bola Tinubu followed through with his promises to ease transportation difficulties of our citizens with the establishment of the Presidential CNG Initiative (Pi-CNG) and the launch of the first phase of thirty buses powered by hybrid Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
“This is a work in progress because the Presidential Initiative is designed to expand across all geo-political zones of the country. The government has also commissioned the first retrofitted CNG train head for the Abuja-Kaduna track. This is intended to cut the cost of travel by up to fifty per cent when fully operational.
“To encourage conversion to CNG-powered land transportation, the government has also commenced the distribution of CNG conversion kits at no cost to Nigerians. The benefit of the CNG transport system to Nigerians is a huge reduction in cost, he said.
