Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company Ltd. and the Federal Government are partnering to roll out locally assembled Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles in Nigeria.
Mr Innocent Chukwuma, Managing Director of the company announced the partnership plan while addressing State House correspondents after a visit to President Bola Tinubu, in Abuja.
TheNewsZenith quotes Chukwuma as saying his company started producing CNG vehicles about two years ago.
He assured that in a short time, CNG-powered Innoson vehicles would be everywhere in the country.
“The government’s initiative on CNG is the best idea for this country. There are a lot of benefits.
“That is why I started the factory to produce CNG vehicles in the country.
“I was the first to start the CNG vehicle assembling it in Nigeria.
“My visit here today is on a CNG vehicle. I have discussed this with the Presidency.
“In a short time the masses will see CNG buses on the roads,” said Chukwuma.

He explained that he started producing CNG vehicles before the Federal Government embraced it.
According to him, people who have used CNG vehicles would agree that it is the way forward for the nation.
Chukwuma said he also visited the President to encourage him.
“People must be patient. We will see the better side of Nigeria. Let everybody calm down for him, we will see a better Nigeria from Tinubu.
“So, let them give him a chance, everything will be okay. President Tinubu wants the best for this country.
“I am encouraging everyone to be patient and not destroy public infrastructure,” the Innoson Motor boss said.
TheNewsZenith recalls that in 2021, Innoson became the first automaker in Nigeria to begin manufacturing CNG vehicles.
It started with hybrid (CNG/diesel) long buses produced for some customers in the oil and gas sector.
