The Federal Government, through the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative and the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, has flagged off the distribution of two thousand CNG-Powered Tricycles to empower Nigerian youths.

In his address, the Project Director of the Presidential Initiative on CNG, Michael Oluwagbemi, said that 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 and the environment through the utilization of clean fuel, and create jobs for the youth population, through the introduction of CNG.

He said that the CNG tricycles were assembled in Shagamu Ogun State adding that it was expected that the delivery of the tricycles would create employment both in operations, maintenance and deployments of the tricycles across Nigeria.
