The Federal Government on Wednesday announced the delivery of the first batch of electric vehicles promised to civil servants as part of its plan to promote cleaner energy and reduce transportation costs.

The Director-General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council, Joseph Osanipin, disclosed this after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House, Abuja.

Osanipin said the delivery marked the beginning of the government’s plan to expand access to electric vehicles and develop the infrastructure needed to support alternative-energy transportation in the country.

He told journalists, “Today, you must have heard in the news that the first batch of the electric vehicle that the President promised civil servants was delivered today, and they are all electric vehicles.
