In order to improve public transportation in the state, the Katsina State Government has approved the purchase of thirty (30) hybrid compressed natural gas (CNG) buses.
The decision reflects the administration of Governor Dikkoa Radda’s commitment to improving access to safe, affordable, and reliable transportation, especially for students.
Muhammad Uthman, vice-chancellor of the Federal University, requested this information from Tarda during a courtesy visit to Government House in Katsina on Tuesday.
In order to lower costs and ease congestion, he claimed, the buses would be strategically distributed throughout major cities.
“Some buses will be dispatched to Daura to accommodate students at higher institutions, while others will be sent to Malumfashi, Funtua, and Dutsinma.
According to the governor, “Transportation continues to be a significant component of our development agenda, especially for students who rely on regular, affordable transportation to pursue their education.”
According to Governor Radda, each bus can carry up to 100 passengers, which would significantly lessen the burden on Federal University Dutsinma students and the general public.
Ogun also has plans to ease the burden of mass transportation with 100 CNG buses.
Our goal is to prevent transportation from preventing students from moving safely and conveniently, he continued.
Governor Radda assured the vice-chancellor that a tractor would be released to the university after the course of business was completed.
During the visit, the governor stated, “We are committed to supporting Federal University Dutsinma and other institutions in initiatives that promote academic excellence and improve student welfare.”
Uthman for his part requested support from the Katsina State Government for addressing pressing issues affecting students’ mobility and learning environment.
Governor Radda remarked, “Governor Radda has always been genuinely concerned about student welfare in the entire state.”
