ProTaxi Launches 1,000 Electric Vehicles in Abuja

The Presidency linked the rollout of 1,000 electric vehicles under the ProTaxi e-hailing platform in Abuja to Nigeria's transition towards cleaner transportation. Prince Adetokunbo Ademola Ade-John, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Transportation and Mobility, made this statement during the official launch on Thursday.

He highlighted the initiative's relevance to the Federal Government's transportation policy, particularly in expanding electric and compressed natural gas-powered vehicles. Ade-John commended Amb.

Emmanuel Lawrence Oloche, CEO of Promiseland Innovation, for his investment in the project and encouraged the company to continue developing the initiative. He noted that the deployment of electric vehicles represents a practical application of emerging transportation policies and will be communicated to relevant government officials for consideration within the broader transportation framework.

Ade-John emphasized that projects like ProTaxi could enhance local capacity and serve as a reference for future transportation initiatives.
