The Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced the arrival of the first set of electric buses in Lagos.
The Governor, in a tweet on Sunday, wrote that the introduction of the buses is part of the government’s increased effort to modernize every sector of the state and also reduce carbon emissions.
Sanwo-Olu, who thanked the project partners, Oando PLC, also assured Lagosians of cost-efficient transportation.
“This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to creating a sustainable future for Lagos.
“We understand the need for charging stations to power our electric buses, which is why we are partnering with Oando Clean Energy Limited to strategically place Universal Chargers at public places like malls and gas stations. We also plan to establish an Assembly Plant for Electric Buses in the near future.
“This is just the beginning of our efforts to transform Lagos into an even smarter city as we continue to increase our fleet of electric vehicles, further modernizing the Lagos transportation system.”
Sanwo-Olu further urged Lagosians to join the government in embracing the future of mobility in Lagos.
