President Tinubu Applauds Kaduna's Free CNG Transit Scheme, Says States Must Relieve Citizens

President Bola Tinubu has commended the Kaduna State Government's free Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) transit scheme, asserting that state governments must prioritize relief for citizens amidst economic pressures.

In a statement, President Tinubu acknowledged Kaduna's initiative as an example of how state governments can translate national energy and economic policies into practical relief for the people at the grassroots. The President's commendation comes as Nigeria's national CNG programme expands.

The Kaduna State government's CNG transit scheme has been instrumental in reducing transportation costs for citizens, with over 3.2 million passenger trips recorded in the first year of the programme. The scheme has saved citizens over N3.5 billion in fuel costs.

The President's recognition of the Kaduna programme highlights the positive impact of state-led interventions in easing the economic burden on citizens. The scheme, which has seen the introduction of 100 CNG-powered buses, has been a beacon of hope amidst the economic challenges faced by Nigerians.

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for recognizing the programme's impact on citizens. The Governor recognizes the importance of state-led initiatives in providing practical relief to the people.
