What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The PUNCH reports that the Federal Government, through the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative, and the Youth Ministry, on October 1 flagged off the distribution of 2,000 CNG-powered tricycles to empower Nigerian youth.

In his address during the flag-off event, 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, enhance the environment through the utilisation of clean fuel, and create jobs for the youth population, through the introduction of CNG.

Speaking on Monday, Olawande explained that the portal aimed to build transparency around the process of enlisting young Nigerians into the Presidential CNG initiative programme in the transport sector.

“Through the portal, youth anywhere from across Nigeria can sign up to be merged with aggregators or owners who work directly with the PiCNG programme, while beginning the process of becoming owners themselves.

“In simple terms, what we aim to achieve with the youth portal we are about to launch is to build transparency around the process of enlisting youth into the Presidential CNG Initiative in the transportation sector”.
