FG BEGINS DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES TO CIVIL SERVANTS

The Federal Government has commenced the distribution of electric vehicles to civil servants as part of efforts to promote cleaner energy and reduce transportation costs.
The initiative is aimed at encouraging the adoption of electric mobility while helping workers cope with the rising cost of transportation.
The government said the electric vehicles would also support its broader energy transition agenda by reducing dependence on petrol-powered vehicles and cutting carbon emissions.
The distribution is expected to benefit selected civil servants and demonstrate the government’s commitment to promoting cleaner and more affordable transportation options.
Officials said the move could also encourage wider adoption of electric vehicles in Nigeria as infrastructure for electric mobility continues to develop.
The Federal Government has been exploring alternative energy solutions as part of efforts to reduce the impact of fuel costs on Nigerians and promote a more sustainable transportation system.
The initiative is expected to complement other measures aimed at reducing transportation expenses and improving the welfare of public sector workers.
