The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Nafiu Olakunle, has applauded President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for introducing the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Bus initiative.
He gave the commendation at the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters, Maitama, Abuja, while receiving a 40-seater CNG bus donated to the scheme by the Presidential Initiative for Compressed Natural Gas (Pi-CNG) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

General Nafiu, who was accompanied by some members of NYSC top management, appreciated Pi-CNG and NNPCL for the gesture.
Speaking further, the NYSC Director General assured that the bus would be put to judicious use and properly maintained.
He, however, appealed for more CNG buses in NYSC formations across the country, noting that such support would help ease transportation challenges for Corps Members as they foster national unity and integration while contributing to the nation’s overall economic growth.
Earlier, while presenting the 40-seater bus, the Executive Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of Pi-CNG, Barrister Ismael Ahmed, said the gesture was part of the President’s promise to cushion the effects of fuel subsidy removal.
