The Federal Government has unveiled 40 electric buses as part of efforts to reduce carbon emissions, cut fuel costs and modernise Nigeria’s public transport system. Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), Ekperikpe Ekpo, said the buses will operate on pilot routes while a broader ecosystem of charging infrastructure and maintenance support is developed.
Officials say the initiative underscores Nigeria’s commitment to cleaner mobility and gas‑based power, while also easing transport costs for commuters in the long term. The project is expected to attract private partners and demonstrate the viability of electric vehicles in Nigerian cities.
