 Hardship: Bricklayer absconds as wife gives birth to triplets in Ondo A bricklayer identified as Bayo Jeje has allegedly absconded from home after his wife gave birth to a set of triplets at a private hospital in Igbokoda in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State. Jeje was said to have disappeared after some midwives and nurses at the hospital told him his wife, Iyanu Ehuwa Jeje, gave birth to three baby boys. The incident took place on Tuesday, causing confusion inside the facility of the Aribo Hospital in Ilaje as the health workers raised the alarm about the whereabouts of  Jeje. Sources at the hospital told Daily Trust that the man left his wife and the newborns stranded in the hospital. One of the sources said Mrs Jejeā€™s ordeal began around 5 am at Igbokoda Health Centre, where she experienced a prolonged delay due to the unavailability of a doctor on duty. ā€œIt was after her condition worsened that she was rushed to Aribo Hospital, where she delivered the triplets. ā€œB...

 P-CNGi deploys 160 CNG buses to NARTO, NURTW, others ā€“ CEO


The Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGi) says it has deployed 160 CNG buses through its transport union partners and sub-nationals, to cushion the effect of high transport cost occasioned by fuel subsidy removal. 

Michael Oluwagbemi, Programme Director/Chief Executive, P-CNGi, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Sunday. 

Oluwagbemi said they had already deployed 75 buses to the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) and the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) through the Ministry of Transportation. 

He said among the buses deployed to the unions, five each were dedicated for intra-state and 20 each for inter-state. 

ā€œLast year, during the yuletide we deployed 160 CNG buses to our union partners, through the Ministry of Transportation, namely ā€“ NURTW, RTEAN and NARTO.

ā€œWe deployed 75 buses through the transport unions and another 85 buses totaling 160 buses to the state government affiliated mass transit companies including Oyo, Ekiti, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos states and FCT among others. 

ā€œAll of these transport companies, affiliated with the state government received different levels of buses, some received 15, 20, 25 and 30 buses and they have started operations. 

ā€œIn the case of pacesetters transport company, Oyo for example, we deployed 15 buses, and during the yuletide from Lagos to Ibadan they were able to bring down the prices to N3, 200 on a route that normally cost N8,000. 

ā€œPeople that were using patrol buses also experienced a discount because there was pressure on the price of transportation within the parks that they loaded which brought down the price to N6,000. 

ā€œThese are some of the benefits that we are beginning to see from the deployment of CNG vehicles across Nigeria. 

ā€œWhat we intend to do this year is to focus and concentrate on deployment between Lagos and Abuja and also work with the sub-nationals to fill the gaps across Nigeria,ā€™ā€™ he said. 

He said that 15 of the buses were deployed for intra-state, while 60 were for inter-state. 

According to Oluwagbemi, all the buses deployed to the various states have started operating at 50 per cent discount, with an effective monitoring system. 

He said that the FCT residents had enjoyed 40 days free rides on the buses as part of the benefits of the administration. 

The P-CNGi CEO said that residents of FCT were currently enjoying a 30 per cent discount on any ride following the expiration of the free ride. 

According to him, in order to enjoy this benefit, Nigerians should get on the buses by utilising specific parks operated by these unions and get a card which monitors the number of passengers on board. 

ā€œUltimately, this is the journey; it starts by us recognising that we should utilise our Godā€™s given resources, which is natural gas, to power this economy and make sure we reduce the cost of transportation and enhance the quality of lives of Nigerians.ā€ 

The P-CNGi is a component of the palliative intervention of the President Bola Tinubu administration directed at providing succour to the masses, occasioned by the transitive hardships of the fuel subsidy removal policy.
