Compress Natural Gas Vehicle on the way,I can hear you Loud and Clear...
President Tinubu.

Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Founder and CEO, Innocent Chukwuma, has announced plans to introduce Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered buses, which will provide affordable transportation for the commuting public.

Following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the A*o Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja, on Thursday, Chukwuma urged Nigerians to be patient with the administration.

Chukwuma expressed enthusiasm for the Presidential CNG Initiative, describing it as "the way forward" for Nigeria.

He highlighted the benefits of CNG, stating, "The government's initiative on CNG is the best idea for transportation in this country. CNG offers many advantages for Nigeria, which is why I recognized its potential and began producing CNG kits before the announcement."

Chukwuma emphasised that his company was already ahead of the curve, having started producing CNG-powered vehicles before the initiative was announced.

He concluded, "Everyone who tries CNG will find that it is the way forward for this nation."

The meeting between Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing CEO, Innocent Chukwuma, and President Bola Tinubu on Thursday follows the President's nationwide address five days prior, where he announced plans to distribute one million Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) kits at minimal or no cost to commercial vehicles.

These vehicles, which transport people and goods, currently consume 80% of imported Premium Motor Spirit and Automotive Gas Oil.

In his address, President Tinubu highlighted the irony of Nigeria's reliance on oil-based petrol despite its abundant oil and gas resources.

He emphasised the need to harness gas resources to power the economy.
The CNG initiative, he explained, would yield significant savings of N2trillion monthly.

Tinubu noted that the country had been using scarce foreign exchange to import and subsidise petrol, and that the CNG initiative would alleviate this burden.

By adopting CNG, Nigeria can reduce costs, save resources, and redirect funds towards critical sectors like healthcare and education.

The President stated, "This will save over N2trillion a month, currently used to import PMS and AGO, and free up our resources for greater investment in healthcare and education."

*DO NOT TRUST YOUR POSITION, IT FAILS IN THE EVENING OF LIFE*

The famous actor Arnold Schwarzenegger*(The Terminator,The Commando), who later became *Governor* of the State of California, USA, posted a picture of himself sleeping in the street under his famous bronze statue, and wrote sadly (" *How times changed"* ).

The reason he slept there and wrote the sentence was not only odd to many but intriguing. Some thought he was a nut or in the usual joking mood as a famous actor, though rare.

Then a journalist took a bold step to approach him and ask why he was sleeping in the public glare when he could afford all the comforts inside his home or better still in the hotel.

Do you know what he found out ?

Arnold Schwarzenegger told him that he was not a nut neither too old to forget his senses and propriety. He was neither catching his fun, but rather making a statement of life.

He recalled that when he was the Governor of the State of California, *he was invited to officially open the massive multimillion dollar hotel* where his statue was placed in front of it in his honour.

He noted further that the hotel management publicly declared at the opening ceremony that "at any time you come back, you will meet a room reserved in your name that will be placed at your disposal free of charge* ."

He said he never came back while in office. However years later he recalled those promises after leaving office and decided to come back and spend a time in the hotel either for free or at paying cost. However what he discovered on arrival is that the hotel administration had refused to give him a room arguing that the hotel was fully booked , even when he was ready to pay. He therefore decided to place a cover under the statue and sleep.

*REFLECTIONS*
Arnold Schwarzenegger asked the reporter to send this message of reflection as a *lesson* to those in position of responsibility thus:

"When you are in a position , people may be praising you. Don't let it get to your *head* or your *heart* . Be yourself and don't get carried away. Even if they mean to be true and sincere, check yourself that you have not exceeded your limits.

Be sure that you are doing what is right and what is good. Don't place any expectation on others and don't look away at your friends and family or make enemies for yourself . Let your door be open to everyone and open your mind to anyone making a point. They may be your guardian angels. No one knows it all.

Remember that your position is for a while. The people who surround you to seek your favour may even forget you sooner than you can remember. Those who spent time with you are no exception. You may be lonely someday. Even some of the people you helped may eventually loath you.

Remember , what you have to your name is your good works. The legacies that you left in the sands of time. That is what will speak for you. Do not assume that every word spoken to you in office will be kept as a promise in future.

Do not trust your position, name, power, money, fame or intelligence as a magic to open doors in future . Only trust in your good work and legacies because nothing last long in life but *death* .

Yes, times do change. Be careful and don't be deceived. Work out your own salvation with uprightness, sincerity, honesty, faithfulness and fairness so that your shadow will not hunt you in the evening /night of your life.

*BE CAREFUL!*
*BE CAREFUL!!*
*BE CAREFUL!!!*
