The inauguration ceremony took place on the 9th October, signifying the government\u2019s commitment to finding a solution to the economic impact of fuel on the nation\u2019s citizens.<\/p>\n

President Hichilema, who presided over the ceremony, reiterated his administration\u2019s unwavering dedication to alleviating the economic burden that fluctuating fuel prices have placed on Zambian citizens.
