The Niger State Government has announced it will subsidise the cost of transportation for civil servants in the state following the receipt of 50 new CNG buses.
A statement signed by Abdullberqy Usman Ebbo, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Digital Media and Strategy, said the latest addition to the fleet of vehicles brings the total number to 250.
The statement said 100 of the buses will operate on the Suleja-Abuja route at discounted prices, while the others will provide intra-state services, also at discounted prices.
The buses, according to the state government, will offer free services to schoolchildren within the state capital.
The statement said: “Civil servants will also have access to the buses at discounted prices, moving to and from the state secretariat from designated bus stops within the state capital.”
Ebbo further affirmed that the NNPC is already constructing CNG-LPG stations in Lambata, Tafa, Bida, and Mokwa, while the state government has undertaken to construct one in Kontagora.
