ENUGU’S TRANSPORT REVOLUTION: 20,000 JOBS, CNG BUSES & NEW TERMINALS – EASTERN BUSINESS REPORT

On Thursday, Enugu State made history, not with words, but with wheels and walls. Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah unveiled the Enugu State Transport Management System (ESTMS), commissioned five modern bus terminals (Holy Ghost, Gariki, Abakpa, Nsukka), and rolled out 100 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered buses. The Governor didn’t just cut ribbons; he cut into the future, projecting that this initiative will create 20,000 jobs, reduce transport costs, and spur Enugu’s GDP towards a bold $30 billion target within six years. But beyond the fanfare, what does this transformation mean for Ndi Enugu? From the cheaper, cleaner, and seamless mobility it promises, to the new revenue streams it could unlock, this is more than transport, it’s about reshaping how the city moves, trades, and grows. Yet, big questions remain: Are we truly ready for a CNG-powered future? How robust are the fueling stations, workshops, and technician training pipelines? Can this transport revolution outlast politics and deliver on its promises? On this episode of the Eastern Business Report, host Marvellous Apuamaga sits down with Chukwuma Ephraim Okenwa, Executive Director of Lead Network Africa, to dissect the opportunities, challenges, and long-term prospects of Enugu’s new transport economy. Plus, we break down the shop unit sales inside the new terminals, with discounts so steep, investors might just be boarding faster than the first CNG buses. It’s Enugu’s biggest transport gamble in decades, and Afia is here to take you inside the numbers, the promises, and the possibilities. #EnuguTransportRevolution #CNGbuses #GovernorMbah #EasternBusinessReport #AfiaBusinessMorning #EnuguState #UrbanMobility #PublicTransport #EnuguNews #AfiaTV
