President Bola Tinubu has today inaugurated 107 gas and electric-powered buses, including taxis, in Maiduguri, Borno State.
The initiative, a part of phase II of Governor Babagana Umara Zulum’s metro transport scheme, aims to address the challenges posed by the withdrawal of fuel subsidies.
Former President Muhammadu Buhari’s media aide, Bashir Ahmad, shared images of the event on his social media handle.
He noted that the project, designed to enhance public transportation, is a commendable effort to mitigate the effects of fuel subsidy withdrawal.
In his post on Monday, December 11, Ahmad expressed gratitude, saying, “God bless Gov. Zulum!”
As the city embraces eco-friendly modes of transportation, the unveiled buses and taxis are expected to contribute to reduced environmental impact and enhanced mobility for residents.
