The first batch of Compressed Natural Gas, CNG buses ordered by Akwa Ibom State Government has been delivered.
Receiving the buses in Uyo, the state capital, Governor Uno Eno said the buses would improve mobility and modernise public transportation across the state.
Twenty brand new CNG buses arrived in Akwa Ibom State as part of the 50 procured by the State Government to provide safer, easier, and more efficient transportation services across all 31 local government areas.
Inspecting the buses, Governor Eno described the delivery as a major milestone in his administration’s commitment to transforming the transport sector and improving the daily commuting experience for residents.
Governor Eno commended the Ministry of Transport, contractors, the military, and other stakeholders involved in the successful delivery process, adding that the next phase will focus on completing bus terminals, installing tracking devices, and introducing a modern ticketing system.
He noted that the initiative complements the state’s expanding road infrastructure and reflects the gradual emergence of a new era of visible development projects across Akwa Ibom State.
Governor Eno urged citizens to remain confident in government’s vision, stressing that meaningful development requires patience, proper planning, and consistent execution, while describing the new transport initiative as a clear sign of a brighter future ahead for the state.
