The Oyo State Government has received a fleet of 20 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses from the Federal Government.

The buses were officially presented to the Pacesetter Transport Service (PTS), a state government agency, at an event held in Eleyele, Ibadan.

Micheal Oluwagbemi, CEO and Programme Director of the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGI), handed over the buses to the Oyo State Government.

“We present these 20 buses as part of a sustainable partnership with Pacesetter Transport Service to generate income, as they are valuable assets.

“We need more such investments to ensure a more sustainable mass transit system, contributing to a brighter future for the state and Nigeria,” he said.

He added that President Bola Tinubu had urged technicians and engineers to use gas resources to advance the transportation industry.

“We are starting to take the right steps, though it requires us to endure some challenges. We cannot return to subsidising our own impoverishment. As a team, we are committed to this effort.” He mentioned.

The initiative aims to provide a more affordable and environmentally friendly transportation solution for commuters in the state.

The introduction of these CNG buses is expected to significantly ease the pressure on commuters and enhance the overall public transportation system in Oyo State. With this development, residents can look forward to a more convenient and cost-effective travel experience.
