FG Bans MDAs From Buying Petrol-Dependent Vehicles

In a significant move towards achieving energy security and promoting cleaner energy, President Bola Tinubu has issued a directive banning the purchase of petrol-dependent vehicles for members of the Federal Executive Council (FEC). Instead, the President has mandated the procurement of compressed natural gas (CNG)-powered vehicles for all government ministries, departments, and agencies.

According to Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, this directive is in line with President Tinubu’s commitment to driving utility, cutting high fuel costs, and transitioning Nigeria to cleaner energy. CNG-enabled vehicles produce lower emissions and offer a more affordable alternative for Nigerian energy consumers.

Addressing FEC members at the State House on Monday, President Tinubu emphasized the need for bold action, stating, “This nation will not progress forward if we continue to dance on the same spot. We must lead by example and drive the adoption of CNG across the country.”

The President has directed the rejection of all memos seeking the purchase of traditional petrol-dependent vehicles, instructing affected council members to seek value-driven procurements of CNG-compliant vehicles instead. This move demonstrates President Tinubu’s commitment to harnessing Nigeria’s gas potential, alleviating the burden of high transportation costs on citizens, and enhancing the standard of living for all Nigerians.
