Uba Sani Launches Free CNG Bus Scheme in Kaduna State
Governor Uba Sani launched the Free CNG Mass Transit Scheme in Kaduna State on July 7, 2025, introducing a fleet of 100 brand-new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses for free transportation. This initiative aimed to alleviate the economic hardships faced by citizens following the removal of petrol subsidies by President Bola Tinubu in 2023, which led to increased transportation costs and a rise in the prices of essentials.
The scheme has recorded over five million passenger journeys within twelve months, saving commuters approximately ₦5.24 billion. The program has expanded to serve all citizens, recognizing that economic hardship affects everyone, regardless of their profession.
Comrade Ayuba Magaji, Chairman of the Kaduna State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), praised the scheme, noting its significant impact on workers' commuting costs.
