The Katsina State government has unveiled 30 hybrid buses, marking a major step in Governor Dikko Umaru Radda’s drive to modernise public transportation and promote environmental sustainability.

Speaking at the media briefing, Ambassador Bernard Oshi of Ben 10 Equipment Inc., highlighted the government’s commitment to improving citizens’ quality of life through innovative, eco-friendly infrastructure.

Oshi said the new hybrid buses, powered by both fuel and electricity, will cut carbon emissions and reduce travel costs for residents.

According to him, the buses will operate on key routes in Katsina, Daura, and Funtua, with plans to expand across the state. This initiative underscores the government’s goal to provide safe, affordable, and sustainable transportation for all.
