In a historic stride towards a greener Nigeria, the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) has unveiled its groundbreaking CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Bus Branding Project, aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision to ease transportation costs for Nigerian citizens.
The high-profile launch, which took place in Abuja, witnessed the convergence of key NURTW officials and Pi-CNG representatives. Leading the NURTW contingent was Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Alhaji Najeem Yasin, along with Alhaji Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, the National President; Alhaji Issa Ore, Deputy President; and Comrade Kayode S.A. Agbeyangi, Acting General Secretary.
They were joined by Pi-CNG’s Commercial Operation Manager, Omoh Imoukhuede; Supply Chain & Logistics Coordinator, Thomas Ayu; and Head of Finance, Hadiza Lawal.
At the event, the NURTW leaders underscored the project’s potential to redefine Nigeria’s transport sector with environmentally friendly options, contributing to both economic and environmental goals.
The CNG-powered buses promise not only to reduce carbon emissions but also to provide a more affordable and sustainable transportation option for citizens.
Alhaji Musiliu Ayinde Akinsanya, the NURTW President, expressed his optimism about the project, stating, “This partnership marks a new chapter for our union and for Nigerians who rely on public transportation daily. With Pi-CNG, we’re setting an example in green transit solutions, which is a necessary shift for our country.”
The representatives from Pi-CNG, equally enthusiastic about the collaboration, highlighted the strategic role of CNG as a cleaner fuel alternative. “We are thrilled to partner with NURTW on this mission. Together, we’re creating pathways for a cleaner, more cost-effective, and resilient transportation system in Nigeria,” said Omoh Imoukhuede, Pi-CNG’s Commercial Operation Manager.
As the first branded CNG buses hit the streets, NURTW and Pi-CNG partnership heralds a pivotal shift towards eco-conscious public transportation.
Both organizations hope that this initiative will pave the way for broader adoption of green technologies across Nigeria, ultimately benefiting both the environment and the daily lives of millions.
