Kaduna State’s free compressed natural gas bus programme has eased transport costs for residents over a 15-month period, according to Information Commissioner Ahmad Mayaki. Mayaki’s assessment was cited in a report by Punch Nigeria, which described the buses as part of a state-backed transport initiative. The available information does not specify how many buses are operating or which routes they serve.
It also does not provide figures showing the reduction in fares or the number of residents who have used the service. No details were given on the programme’s cost to the state, its funding arrangements or whether the buses operate on a fixed timetable. The commissioner’s statement presents the scheme’s main reported effect as relief for passengers facing transport costs.
Further information about the programme’s performance and future plans was not included in the supplied material.
