President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has launched the Electric Tricycle Empowerment Initiative, a programme aimed at enabling Nigerian youth to be self-employed and contribute to national development. The initiative, a collaboration between the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, House of Destiny Global Services, and National Commercial Tricycle and Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association (NATOMORAS), seeks to reduce transportation costs, pollution, and create jobs for young people.
Speaking at the launch event, President Tinubu emphasized the initiative’s alignment with the government’s energy transformation programme, aimed at reducing carbon footprint and promoting a cleaner environment. He noted that the electric tricycles will reduce transportation costs by 40% and offer a cleaner alternative to fossil fuel-powered tricycles.
The President commended the Federal Ministry of Youth Development for the initiative, stating that it will provide employment opportunities for young people and promote sustainable energy solutions. He urged all stakeholders to work together to make the initiative a success and create a brighter future for Nigeria.
