Just In : State govt to convert petrol-fuelled buses to gas
Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on Monday, said his administration would commence the conversion of mass transit buses from petroleum fuel to gas and motorcycles to electric in August.
Abiodun said the conversion programme is scheduled to take off in the first week of August.
The governor also said that his administration would take advantage of the newly signed electricity bill that regulates the power sector by establishing a company that would generate and distribute power supply in the Gateway state.
Abiodun said this when he received participants of the Senior Executive Course 45, Group 1, of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Jos, who were on a courtesy call in his office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
He said that his administration would, in its second term, focus on the provision of public utilities, which include water and electricity supply.
