NNPC Foundation contributes 10 CNG buses to DAPPMAN initiative
In a move to promote clean energy and affordable transportation for the Nigerian masses, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Foundation has contributed 10 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses to the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) initiative.
The Managing Director of NNPC Foundation, Emmanuella Arukwe, expressed excitement about the foundation’s involvement in the project, stating that it aligns with their focus areas of energy and the environment.
“We committed to 10 CNG buses to DAPPMAN, which is what we have delivered today. We are excited to be part of this initiative. Although it is an NNPC initiative, for us in the foundation, we are really committed to our area of focus, which is energy and the environment.”
Arukwe stressed the significance of the CNG buses to the economy, noting that fueling the buses is more cost-effective compared to conventional fuels.
She said that the use of CNG buses will greatly reduce transportation fares, ultimately benefiting the public and boosting the economy.
She said, “It’s very significant because, for example, filling those 10 buses will cost a little money. We know that CNG, apart from being clean, is much cheaper. Because it’s cheaper to fuel the vehicles, the price is going to be way down. So, for the public, this is the way to go.”
