Federal Government 2024 Presidential CNG Initiative (Distribution of 2,000 Powered Tricycles)

Published: 17 Oct 2024

In line with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, this initiative reflects President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s unwavering commitment to empowering Nigerians, particularly the youth. Through innovative programs like the Presidential CNG Initiative, we are laying the foundation for a sustainable, self-reliant future by lowering transportation costs, creating jobs, and promoting clean energy solutions. The distribution of 2,000 CNG-powered tricycles is a significant step toward achieving economic growth and environmental responsibility, as envisioned in the Renewed Hope Agenda.
This initiative also underscores the government’s dedication to reducing the cost of living for everyday Nigerians while simultaneously fostering entrepreneurship. By transitioning the transport sector to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), we aim to create a greener, more affordable public transportation system. This program is a testament to the administration’s focus on job creation, sustainable development, and youth empowerment, ensuring that Nigeria’s future is built on resilience, innovation, and shared prosperity.
