Thursday’s meeting follows President Tinubu’s nationwide broadcast five days earlier, in which he promised to distribute “a million kits at extremely low or no cost to commercial vehicles that transport people and goods and who currently consume 80 per cent of the imported Premium Motor Spirit and Automotive Gas Oil.”
Tinubu also mentioned the launch of a CNG initiative to power transportation and reduce costs, with plans to distribute a million conversion kits.
