Vice-President Kashim Shettima has said the adoption of electric mobility as a more sustainable mode of transportation will tackle the challenge of air pollution in the country.
Shettima disclosed this, according to a statement on Friday, during the inspection of the solar-powered charging stations for e-mobility domiciled in the State House, in Abuja.
The Vice President made this known ahead of the upcoming United Nations climate summit (COP28) in Dubai, stressing the need for Nigeria to be dedicated to exploring environmentally friendly alternatives for transportation.
He said, “E-mobility deployment aligns with the Nigeria Energy Transition Plan, addressing emissions, air pollution, and energy security concerns while ensuring a greener future for Nigerians.
Shettima added that through these initiatives, Nigeria “demonstrates its readiness to embrace cleaner and greener alternatives; and its energy transition journey is emblematic of the transformative potential of sustainable energy in shaping the future of African nations.”
