NURTW Chairman Urges FG To Extend CNG Transport Subsidy To Interstate Operators

The chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Bus Long Journey, Kakuri branch, Kaduna, Comrade Yakubu Lawal, has urged the federal government to extend subsidised transportation through Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered and electric vehicles to more commercial transport operators to reduce fares and ease the burden of rising transportation costs on Nigerians.

Lawal made the appeal following President Bola Tinubu’s October 1 declaration of plans to subsidise transportation through CNG-powered and electric vehicles, amid growing concerns over the rising cost of interstate travel and the impact of economic hardship on passengers and transport operators.
