By The Enugu State Government has announced the launch of 100 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses and the commissioning of five modern bus terminals across the state today Thursday, August 14, 2025.
This development aims to improve public transportation infrastructure and make commuting more convenient and sustainable for residents.
Governor Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah shared the news on his official X account, explaining that the terminals to be commissioned are located at Holy Ghost (two terminals), Nsukka, Abakpa, and Gariki. The CNG buses are part of a 200-bus fleet procured by the government, with this first batch set to enhance urban transit efficiency and safety.
This falls under the Smart Transport Program (STP), which is focused on modernizing Enugu’s transport system through digitization, improved traffic management, and the adoption of eco-friendly transport solutions. The program also aims to provide job opportunities and training for youths involved in transport services.

According to the government, this move marks a “giant leap” towards making travel faster, safer, and more enjoyable in Enugu State.
Earlier efforts include the procurement of 50 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) buses and the development of new terminals, part of efforts put in place to expand and improve public transport within the state.
This transport upgrade is expected to benefit daily commuters and contribute to a greener environment by promoting the use of cleaner fuel-powered buses.
