The Federal Government has introduced 100 electric buses to improve transportation for federal civil servants across Nigeria. Mrs Didi Walson-Jack, the outgoing Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, revealed this during the inauguration ceremony in Abuja on Wednesday. She emphasized that the initiative exemplifies the Federal Government's dedication to civil servants' welfare and well-being.
Out of the 100 buses, 37 had already been delivered as the initial phase of the project. Mrs Walson-Jack described the bus inauguration as her parting gift to civil servants, expressing her gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his support. She highlighted that transportation is crucial to civil servants' finances, safety, punctuality, and productivity.
The buses, funded by the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund, aim to reduce commuting costs and risks. Mrs Walson-Jack commended the Minister of State for Industry, Sen. John Enoh, for his support and praised the National Automotive Design and Development Council for the buses' development. She urged civil servants to treat the buses as their own assets.
The minister praised the initiative as a practical step towards implementing the Renewed Hope Agenda and improving civil servants' welfare.
