President Bola Tinubu has engaged the Managing Director, Chief Executive Officer (MD/CEO) of Innoson Motors on the manufacturing of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) enabled vehicles in the country.
This was disclosed by the Innoson Motors’ boss in an interaction with State House correspondents after meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa on Thursday.
Chukwuma, who said he was at the Villa to encourage the President, urged the people to be patience with him, asserting that Tinubu mean well for the country.
On partnership with the government vehicles manufacturing, Chukwuma said “Government is doing its best with Innoson Motors, the partnership is going on. In a short while everywhere you go you will see Innoson Motors.”
Commenting on government CNG vehicle initiative, he said “I started CNG about two years ago, I was the first to start it in Nigeria. My visit here today is on CNG vehicle issues, I have discussed with them and in a short time the masses will see CNG buses in the road.”
On what his thoughts were on the CNG initiative, he said “It is the best idea, government’s initiatives on CNG is the best idea for this country because there are a lot of benefits and it is those benefits I saw before I started the factory to produce vehicles on CNG.
“Because I had started producing CNG vehicles before the announcement. For those that have used CNG vehicles, they will agree it is the way forward for this nation.”
“Let everybody be patient because everybody knows that the former government sold oil, collected the money and don’t supply but this government is just supplying but not getting the money. So let them give them chance, everything will be okay.
“The way I see him, he wants the best for this country. So I am encouraging everyone to be patient and not destroy public infrastructure.
“There’s no benefit in destroying our things, our benefit is to be calm and let him plan for the future of the country.”
