The Federal government on Sunday, presented 64 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses each to Labour and student leaders at the State House in Abuja.

The presentation of the buses is in fulfilment of the promises made by the government during negotiations on the new minimum wage and how to alleviate the suffering of the people.

It would be recalled that President Tinubu in July, promised to give 36 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses to the labour unions in the country.

The President made the announcement during his meeting with the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to discuss the new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.

According to the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the move is part of efforts to ameliorate the high cost of living by workers.

He added that the 36 CNG-powered buses have a sitting capacity of 100 each.

The presentation of the buses, as promised, was done on behalf of the federal government by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, on Sunday, 29th September.
