  • A United States-based Nigerian expert in the automotive manufacturing industry, Sunday Aluko, has highlighted how embracing electric vehicles can drastically reduce the country's reliance on imported fuel and revolutionise its transportation systems.

The article from MSN discusses the advocacy for Nigeria to transition towards electric vehicles (EVs) as highlighted by an expert, Dr. Olabode Olatunji, from the University of Lagos. He emphasizes the environmental and economic benefits of EVs, pointing out that Nigeria's heavy reliance on fossil fuels contributes significantly to pollution and climate change. Dr. Olatunji argues that adopting electric cars could reduce the country's carbon footprint, decrease dependence on imported petroleum, and foster local innovation in renewable energy technologies. He also notes the potential for job creation in the EV sector, from manufacturing to maintenance. However, he acknowledges challenges such as the need for infrastructure development, like charging stations, and the current high cost of EVs. The expert calls for government policies to incentivize EV adoption, including subsidies, tax breaks, and investment in renewable energy to power these vehicles.
