Tinubu Launches 107 Electric Taxis, Buses In Borno

President Bola Tinubu has commissioned 107 electric/gas buses, and taxis in Borno State as Governor Babagana Zulum’s government seeks to reduce the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.

Tinubu commissioned the fleet on Monday around the Shehu of Borno’s Palace.

At the event, the Nigerian leader hailed Zulum for the foresight, saying his development strides are innovative.

“Your Excellency (Governor Zulum)… this is exactly ‘Hope Renewed’. Thank you for your good job always. Thank you once again for being innovative and creative; for your concern about your people and the good governance you provide,” Tinubu said.

“We are going to take advantage of your foresight and proactiveness to at the sub-national level be able to start an assembly plant and add more value to the economy and bring economic prosperity to our people. You (Zulum) are doing a good job, thank you very much,” he added.

On his part, Zulum said the move is part of his administration’s metro transport scheme and to cushion the impact of the fuel subsidy removal.
