FG distributes 2,000 CNG tricycles to youths

The Federal Government has given 2,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tricycles to youths as part of commitment by President Bola Tinubu to alleviate the daily struggles of young persons.

Minister of Youth De­velopment, Dr. Jamila Ibra­him, said this in Abuja on Tuesday during the first phase distribution of the tricycles.

Ibrahim said the tricycles would go a long way in easing the transportation challenges faced by citizens across the country.

She added that “in this cru­cial time of economic reforms, this intervention will serve as a great relief to our people, demonstrating the administra­tion’s dedication to improving the quality of life for young people.

“As we look forward to empowering young people, I must also highlight how the National Youth Investment Fund (NYIF) is geared to sup­port youth entrepreneurs, especially those interested in sustainable mobility and transport businesses.”

According to her, the NYIF will provide the financial back­bone for many young innova­tors to thrive, boosting not only youth employment but also our economy at large.

“We look forward to col­laborating with the Presiden­tial Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi) to deliver on the target of two million tricycles and other forms of transportation using the CNG initiative.

“This will be a remark­able step toward achieving Nigeria’s gas transformation agenda.”
