In response to rising petrol prices, the Nigerian government has introduced 2,000 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered tricycles as part of its efforts to provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly transportation options.
The unveiling of these CNG-powered tricycles aligns with the government’s commitment to promoting cleaner energy alternatives and reducing reliance on petrol. The initiative is expected to offer a more affordable mode of transportation for Nigerians, especially amid the current economic challenges.
According to the government, the introduction of CNG-powered tricycles will not only help reduce transportation costs but also contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions, making it a sustainable solution for urban mobility.
The initiative is seen as a strategic move to alleviate the impact of high petrol prices on the public while promoting the adoption of alternative energy sources across the country.
