The governor of Ogun, Dapo Abiodun, launched the E-mobility programme in the state on Monday as a means of palliative to cushion the effect of the removal of fuel subsidies.
Abiodun had disclosed on July 28, 2023, on X (formerly Twitter) that his administration would launch the E-mobility program in Ogun State.
Thegovernor added that this is aimed at swapping all the petrol-dependent motorcycles and tricycles in Ogun with electricity-powered ones.
He also said that the people of Ogun will begin to see more electricity-powered motorcycles and tricycles in the state.
Accordingto Abiodun, over the next three to four months, the good people of our the state will begin to enjoy being moved from one point to another at regular transport fares that were obtained before deregulation.
On Monday, the Ogun State Government announced the launch of the highly anticipated E-mobility program.
This significant achievement follows the successful conversion of all our government-owned buses from petrol-dependent to the safer and more sustainable CNG Buses,” the statement read.
Meanwhile Abiodun last week said that the proposed red and blue rail lines which will be in conjunction with the Lagos State Government will take effect as from the year 2024
