The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, expressed his positive outlook on the Presidential Initiative on compressed natural gas (CNG) and Electric Vehicle (EV) during the Nigeria Auto Industry Summit. He praised President Bola Tinubu for supporting the initiative and highlighted the alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal on green energy.

With four years remaining to achieve the goal of halving road fatalities by 2030, Mohammed called for increased support from all stakeholders.
