Dr. Matawalle highlighted that this initiative is in direct alignment with President Bola Tinubu’s clean energy vision, aiming to significantly reduce operational costs while contributing to Nigeria’s broader climate change commitments. By integrating CNG technology, the Armed Forces are expected to enhance their operational efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint, supporting the nation’s transition to greener energy sources.

The adoption of CNG vehicles is anticipated to set a precedent for other government agencies to follow suit in embracing clean energy solutions.
