Nigerians will witness drop in transportation costs from October 1, Tinubu insists

President Bola Tinubu has announced that Nigerians will witness a drop in transportation costs from October 1, as part of the National Affordable CNG Transit Programme. The programme, which was established following a meeting with state governors, aims to provide measurable reductions in transportation costs for citizens. Tinubu urged state governments to ensure that savings from cheaper CNG-powered transportation translate into lower fares for Nigerians, and to maintain momentum towards October 1.

Several states have already recorded reductions in transport fares through CNG-powered and electric buses, with examples including Borno, Kaduna, Oyo, Adamawa, Enugu, Plateau, and Abia.
