In a remarkable milestone for Nigeria’s automotive industry, Mr. Jelani Aliyu, the Director General/CEO of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), proudly presented a state-of-the-art electric car designed and assembled entirely within Nigeria.
The unveiling took place at the State House in Abuja, following the National Economic Council’s endorsement of the NADDC’s ambitious plan to initiate mass production of electric and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered vehicles nationwide.
With the aim of mitigating the impact of fuel subsidy removal, the introduction of electric and CNG-powered vehicles is set to revolutionize the Nigerian transportation landscape.
Mr. Aliyu emphasized the significance of this technological leap, stating that the mass production of these environmentally friendly vehicles would contribute to a sustainable future for the country.
This recent achievement builds upon the momentum generated by the previous unveiling of Nigeria’s first electric car at the Made-in-Nigeria fair in 2021, by former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Speaking on the occasion, Osinbajo expressed his enthusiasm, describing the vehicle named Kona as a wonderful development and a testament to Nigeria’s untapped potential.
Emphasizing the convenience of the assembled-in-Nigeria electric car, Osinbajo highlighted the ease of charging the vehicle, emphasizing that it can be charged anywhere, offering users unparalleled flexibility and convenience.
This technological breakthrough showcases Nigeria’s capability to develop innovative solutions that can compete on a global stage.
By embracing electric and CNG-powered vehicles, Nigeria aims to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, curbing pollution and promoting a sustainable transportation ecosystem.
This forward-thinking initiative is expected to stimulate the domestic automotive industry, attract foreign investments, and create numerous employment opportunities across the country.
The unveiling of the locally-designed electric car by Mr. Jelani Aliyu marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s pursuit of a greener future and reinforces the nation’s commitment to technological advancements in the automotive sector.
As the country continues to make strides in sustainable mobility, the electric vehicle industry in Nigeria is poised for exponential growth, further solidifying its position as a regional leader in the automotive manufacturing landscape.
With the support of the National Economic Council, the National Automotive Design and Development Council’s ambitious plan for mass production of electric and CNG vehicles sets the stage for a thriving, environmentally conscious automotive industry in Nigeria.
As the nation drives toward a cleaner and greener future, the assembled-in-Nigeria electric car represents a symbol of pride, innovation, and progress for the entire nation.
