Just In: Pres. Tinubu bans purchase of petrol-dependent vehicles
President Bola Tinubu has banned members of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, from purchasing petrol dependent vehicles.
The President has also directed the mandatory procurement of compressed-natural-gas-powered vehicles by all government ministries, departments, and agencies.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement on Monday evening, May 13, 2024.
According to him, the directive is in line with Tinubu’s commitment to ensure energy security, drive utility, and cut high fuel costs.
He said the President’s directive is also in furtherance of Nigeria’s effort to transition to cleaner energy as CNG-enabled vehicles have been adjudged to produce lower emissions, even as they present a more affordable alternative for Nigerian energy consumers.
Addressing members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) at the State House on Monday, President Tinubu affirmed that there is no turning back in the energy reforms initiated by his administration.
“This nation will not progress forward if we continue to dance on the same spot. We have the will to drive the implementation of CNG adoption across the country, and we must set the example as public officials in leading the way to that prosperous future that we are working to achieve for our people. It starts with us, and in seeing that we are serious, Nigerians will follow our lead,” the President stated.
“The President further directed the rejection of all memos brought by members of FEC seeking the purchase of traditional petrol-dependent vehicles, tasking the affected members of the council to go back and diligently seek value-driven procurements of CNG-compliant vehicles.
The President remains committed to effectively harnessing the nation’s gas potential, alleviating the burden of high transportation costs on the masses while enhancing the standard of living of all Nigerians,” the statement added.
The Federal Govt has promised to reward the Super Eagles for their commitment and dedication in reaching the Final of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in CIV.
Vice President Kashim Shettima told the players and their officials in the dressing room, following their hard-fought victory over South Africa in the semi finals on Wednesday, that the govt and people of Nigeria are proud of their accomplishment.
The VP was in company with Governors Dapo Abiodun (Ogun) and Duoye Diri (Bayelsa), Minister for Youth, Dr. Jamila Ibrahim as well as Oil mogul Wale Tinubu, FIFA Council Member Amaju Pinnick and NFF President Ibrahim Musa Gusau.
I am genuinely happy with today’s judgment of the Federal High Court, which issued an order of interim injunction preventing the Kano State Government from using funds belonging to the 44 Local Government Areas of the state to construct two major flyover bridges and interchanges and any other project.
It’s so unfair when the state government planned to embark on the construction of these projects and billed the LGAs to contribute 70% of the budgeted amount, while the majority of the LGAs in the state have been significantly neglected, lacking basic infrastructure and development projects.
Hopefully this judgment will serve as a catalyst for more inclusive and balanced development policies in Kano and other states. We say no to a selective project that favors only a few.

Jose Mourinho after beating Man City, what a guy 😂
Journalist to Mourinho: "Man City had the ball for 90mins, more than 80%"
Mourinho: "They can take the ball home, I take the 3 points"
Fallacious statements of this nature are only held by political weaklings,mischievous shallow & timid minded individuals like who are intimidated by the valid prospects of a "South Easterner" becoming a Nigerian President.This is just a cheap "emotional blackmail". @Coal_City
