Nigerians will pay less for transport in October – Tinubu

 President Bola Tinubu has promised that Nigerians will pay
less for transport from October 2026.

 

This was disclosed in a statement by Special Adviser on
Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Saturday.

 

The development is an update on the National Affordable
Compressed Natural Gas, CNG, Transit Programme.

 

“On August 27, I met with the governors of our 36 states,
and we agreed on a clear objective. From October 1, more Nigerians should begin
to see measurable reductions in transportation costs.

 

“We subsequently established an implementation committee for
the National Affordable CNG Transit Programme under the auspices of the Nigeria
Governors’ Forum, chaired by Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

 

“I am aware of the considerable work already underway by the
committee, PI-CNG & EV, the States, and other critical stakeholders to
identify priority transport corridors, determine appropriate interventions, and
put the necessary arrangements in place.

 

“This work has become even more urgent amid the current
global energy crisis,” the statement said.
