Ekiti State launches 15 CNG buses, cuts transport fares 50%

Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji deployed 15 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses on Independence Day, cutting transport fares by 50% to reduce costs for residents, aligning with President Tinubu's CNG adoption directive. The move is a localized rollout of a national policy, with impact limited to Ekiti's public transit. Uncertainty remains over fleet size sufficiency and operational sustainability.
