The Federal Government has flagged off the distribution of 2000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) – Powered Tricycles to empower Nigerian youth.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, flagged off the first phase of the programme at the Old Parade Ground Abuja on Tuesday, as part of activities to commemorate the 64th anniversary of Nigeria’s Independence.

The Project Director of the Presidential Initiative on CNG, Michael Oluwagbemi, said the distribution of the tricycles marked the fulfilment of promises made by President Bola Tinubu to reduce the cost of transportation, enhance economic well-being, promote the utilisation of clean fuel, and create jobs for the youth population, through the introduction of CNG.

He said the CNG tricycles were assembled in Shagamu.

The minister of state for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, explained that apart from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) other states across the federation would also benefit from the presidential initiative.
