The Federal Government, through the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (PCNGi), will begin the distribution of 2,000 CNG-powered tricycles to youths in the transportation sector across Nigeria starting October 1st, 2024.

The initiative aims to distribute 2,000 CNG-powered tricycles to youths in the transportation sector across the country, as part of efforts to address rising transportation costs and promote more sustainable and affordable mobility options.

In an X (formerly Twitter) post on Saturday, PCNGi highlighted that the program is part of the Tinubu administration’s broader strategy to enhance the transportation sector through cleaner, cost-effective alternatives.

The official post also mentioned that the distribution will commence in Abuja at 1:00 PM on October 1st, at the Old Parade Ground in Area 11, Garki.

“The Presidential CNG Initiative (PCNGI) is distributing 2,000 CNG-powered tricycles to informal youth in the transportation sector, as part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s @officialABAT administration’s efforts to reduce transportation costs for Nigerians,” the post read.

In an earlier released statement on behalf of Michael Oluwagbemi, the PCNGi Program Director/Chief Executive, the distribution of 2,000 CNG-powered tricycles is described as a collaborative effort between PCNGi and the Ministry of Youths, aimed at providing young Nigerians with a source of livelihood while advancing environmental and economic objectives.
