The Federal Government has announced plans to introduce solar-powered tricycles and motorcycles into the Nigerian transport system in 2019.
The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, stated this at the swearing-in ceremony of newly elected executives of Amalgamated Commercial Tricycle & Motorcycle Owners, Repairs and Riders Association of Nigeria in Abuja.
The minister, who was represented by the Director, Road Transport and Mass Transit Administration of the Ministry Anthonia Ekpa, said the initiative would solve the fuel challenges faced by motorcycles and tricycles riders.
He, however, said that road transport remains the most critical and accessible to all Nigerians, urging the new ACOMORAN president to ensure that his members obey all traffic laws.
The Chairman Senate Committee on Land Transport, Gbenga Ashafa, congratulated the new president, urging him to ensure that his members were law abiding.
