This follows the approval of contracts worth nearly $100m (N151.9bn) by the Federal Executive Council to supply electric vehicles and establish charging infrastructure in the region.
In a statement on Sunday, Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, recalled that FEC approved the contract for the supply of ten 17-seater electric buses last week.
Giving a breakdown of contracts, Onanuga said Bluecrest Integrated Concept Limited was awarded a N2.9bn contract to deliver ten 17-seater electric buses within six months.
Sinoma Investment International Limited will supply another 3000 e-tricycles. All the tricycles can carry nine passengers and the driver at a go.
For a contract sum of N16.3 billion, Messrs. HNCEGC will supply 100 BYD Dolphin EVs, 100 BYD Qin Plus EVs, and 37 BYD Yuan Plus EVs.
At the same time, Messrs. KB Laman Motors Nigeria Limited will establish the charging points for the e-buses and tricycles for N8.4 billion.
President Tinubu approved the procurement of the e-vehicles in October last year and inspected the samples of the e-vehicles, chargers, and batteries.
