The Federal Capital Territory Minister, Muhammad Bello, says the use of electric vehicles as the main means of public transportation is a major part of his plans for the city.

According to a statement on Sunday by the Minister’s Chief Press Secretary, Anthony Ogunleye, Bello disclosed this during a visit by the management of the National Automotive Design and Development Council led by its Director General, Jelani Aliyu, to the FCTA. The statement was titled, ‘Making Abuja Green City: FCTA to partner NADDC on environmental friendly public transportation’.It read, “After taking a test drive in the Hyundai Kona, an electric vehicle assembled in Nigeria, the FCT Minister revealed that the long term plan of the administration was to develop Abuja into one of the greenest cities in the country and that the use of electric vehicles as a major means of public transportation was a major part of that plan.

“So, this just takes us to the next step which is trying to improve on the transportation system in the city, particularly our bus mass transit system and what is called the last mile.”

But the same Abuja spent billions in oil exploration and found no oil. Who is deceiving who?

Public transport for cattle or humans?

People that chased cows 🐄 from place to place are now want to introduce us to electric vehicles 🚗... ok o

Is Abuja only in nigeria. That is why alot of ppl migrate from their remote areas to cities due to No Infrastructure within them

Useless People

Start with good 🤦🏻‍♂️transport system first . Intercity train or tram

To charge ordinary phone sometimes na war when there won’t be light for 2days or more, so tell me how one charge electric car? It seems its a curse to be a Nigerian

Another senseless talk

God when🤲

In the year 2100 I presume.

Are you kidding me, who is cooking all this lies for you guy? Failed government

How much is this deal again ? How many Billions ? With the level of insecurity unemployment and poverty.. you’re planning on electric vehicles 🚗 ⚡️ that will never be . Another Scam-in-Process

When Ben Bruce spoke about electric cars some year ago in the NASS, many shut him down that we should focus on crude. Today, FG is talking about electric cars for public transport. We need to learn to plan ahead as a nation.

If the FCT Minister is truly concerned about green transportation, he should be talking with HETimipreSylva for a more viable green transportation option for Nigeria. Is it out of our 1000MW that we will still power the cars?

Oga go and fix street lights and let Abuja have steady 24hrs light.dont come here and say rubbish.

Fix the traffic lights first,

Electric vehicle ke? Hmmm, are you sure is not under the influence of Indian hemp.

HETimipreSylva, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources is currently promoting a drive to power over 1 million vehicles with Natural gas with an elaborate inauguration ceremony last year. You have to wonder what we are about in this country.

The interesting thing about this particular Administration is that each of the Ministers seems to be heading in their own direction with no cohesion in the Executive arm of govt. While there is no electricity and an abundance of natural gas, the Minister talks electric cars!

Ode

😂🤣🤣😅😅 please this is Monday morning infact first Monday in August. Money on my mind not jokes Mr. MINISTER

See this one...🙄😒

The looting plan has been initiated. This country will not see the end of this project/contract. By 2024/2025 we will be debating how the money got missing.

Finished country

Lol 😂

When your planning is faulty. I can advice you now so get a pen & paper. Remove Abuja from national grid. And build a stand alone power plant to serve Abuja alone base on 2 multiple by the current electricity requirements 4 Abuja.Then you can now be talking electric cars in abj

Haaaa hypocrites. I thought the house kicked against it when senator Moved the motion.does it mean some people see others as common therefore whatever idea they brought in should be kicked against? Or just being hypocritical?

For 2days now no light.. I sorry for Una sha.. Na road e go dey off.

The system we practice here only consider the interest of the elites not the masses, however, not everybody will benefit from this said electric vehicles, instead of this, why can't you work on stable electricity and other social amenities

Se awon eleyi gbadun rara shaa?

Taught:if the car battery is low and bandit is on there way coming what will happen?

Nigeria is taking the lead. Probably first in Africa 🙏🏾❤️

These guys don't belong here. They are from Niger Republic. Nigerians won't hate their own country this much.

Virtually none existence public transportation system in Abuja will miraculously metamorphosis to electric powered transportation systems. The major flaw in the Nigerian system is that these public officers don't address the press. The press eavesdrop. Try PRESS CONFERENCE.

See this one... 😂

And una still Dey call petrol una income lol

Big dreams... I'm sorry for you guys

Electric vehicles? Is there stable light in Nigeria? Let the minister think of something else

Another medium for embezzling

I guess that's not the major needs required by the masses
