President Bola Tinubu's administration has called for a nationwide expansion of electric vehicle initiatives in Nigeria, following the successful launch of 1,000 electric vehicles. Prince Adetokunbo Ademola Ade-John, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Transportation and Mobility, praised the initiative during its official launch in Abuja on Thursday.
The ProTaxi e-hailing platform, developed by PromiseLand Innovation, is seen as a practical demonstration of the government's vision for modernizing transportation and mobility. Ade-John commended Emmanuel Oloche, the CEO of PromiseLand Innovation, for taking a bold step in advancing transportation in Nigeria. The federal government is already pursuing the deployment of electric buses and CNG-powered vehicles, and private initiatives like PromiseLand Innovation can complement these efforts.
Ade-John encouraged the company to expand the initiative to other parts of the country and urged Nigerians to invest in locally developed solutions. PromiseLand Innovation's CEO emphasized that the platform was created to help drivers and their families move from poverty to prosperity while providing an affordable transportation option for Nigerians.
Oloche also shared the company's ambition of building an African technology company that can compete globally.
