President Bola Tinubu has approved the expansion of the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas to include electric vehicles as part of Nigeria’s clean energy drive.
In a statement on Thursday, presidential adviser Bayo Onanuga said the programme, now renamed the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas and Electric Vehicles, will coordinate nationwide deployment of gas-powered and electric transport systems.
The initiative will oversee the rollout of CNG infrastructure, including refuelling stations and vehicle conversion programmes, as well as the development of electric vehicle charging networks across the country.
