FG launches CNG e-portal for youths to access tricycles
The Federal Ministry of Youth Development has announced the launch of its compressed natural gas (CNG) e-portal for youths in the commercial transport sector, particularly those interested in operating CNG-powered tricycles across the country.
The Minister of State for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, unveiled the portal during a media briefing yesterday in Abuja.
On October 1, the Federal Government, through the Presidential Compressed Natural Gas Initiative (P-CNGi) and the ministry, announced the distribution of 2,000 CNG-powered tricycles to empower Nigerian youths.
Olawande noted that through the portal, youths from across the country could sign up to be merged with aggregators or owners who work directly with the Presidential CNG Initiative (P-CNGi) as they begin the process of becoming owners themselves.
The minister said the ministry designed the youth portal to create opportunities for youths to participate in the process.
He urged youths interested in the sector and palliative programme of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to sign up to the initiative via www.youthcng.ng or www.pci.gov.ng/tricycle.

Despite Sinwar’s death, the war is yet to come to an end-Israeli PM
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Killing Yahya Sinwar is Israel’s biggest victory so far in the war against Hamas in Gaza.
His death is a serious blow for Hamas, the organisation he turned into a fighting force that inflicted the biggest defeat on the state of Israel in its history.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, praised the soldiers and made clear that however big a victory, it was not the end of the war.
The remaining hostages are not free and Hamas is fighting and sometimes killing Israeli troops.
A year of war has killed at least 42,000 Palestinians and left much of Gaza in ruins
