Oando has announced the expansion of its electric bus fleet in Lagos, fulfilling a pledge to support the Federal Government of Nigeria’s effort to decarbonise mass‑transit operations across the country.
The rollout adds more electric buses to the city’s public‑transport network through a partnership with the Lagos State Government, marking the latest step in the company’s collaboration with both federal and state authorities.
By delivering additional zero‑emission vehicles, Oando aims to help the federal government meet its climate‑action targets for the transport sector, which is a major source of Nigeria’s greenhouse‑gas emissions.
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, is seeking to curb pollution and congestion in its megacity of Lagos, a hub that struggles with traffic jams and air‑quality challenges. Expanding electric mass‑transit options is seen as a key strategy to address these issues.
The partnership underscores a growing trend of private‑sector involvement in Nigeria’s clean‑energy transition, as companies like Oando work alongside government bodies to accelerate the adoption of sustainable mobility solutions.
