The Federal Government on Thursday inspected the progress of the ongoing assembly of 10,000 electric vehicles meant for distribution to the six North-East states in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
Addressing newsmen shortly after inspecting the project, the Minister of Regional Development, Abubakar Momoh, said when completed, the electric vehicles, comprising buses, tricycles and taxis, with charging infrastructure, would serve people in rural communities and urban areas across the region.
He said, “We have visited the e-vehicles assembly plant, under the management of the North-East Development Commission. These are projects approved by the Federal Executive Council.
“From what we have seen today, I can say that I am very much impressed because nearly all the 10,000 e-vehicles and tricycles are on the ground. They are already assembling them.
