Nigeria electric bus deployment initiatives

Overview

Nigeria has implemented several initiatives to integrate electric buses into its urban transport systems to reduce emissions and lower costs.

In Kano State, the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas and Electric Vehicles (Pi-CNG & EV) distributed five 20-seater electric buses to transport operators. This deployment is intended to reduce commuter fares by at least 40 percent compared to conventional transport and promote sustainable urban mobility.

In Lagos, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) received 11 new electric buses from Oando Clean Energy Limited. This delivery is part of a broader plan to deploy 50 zero-emission vehicles, with a long-term target of 552 electric buses for the state. Officials noted that the transition aims to address the needs of an expanding population while improving air quality and reducing noise pollution.
