FG backs ProTaxi as 1,000 electric vehicles hit Abuja roads

The Presidency has highlighted the launch of the ProTaxi electric vehicle service in Abuja as a demonstration of how private-sector investment can contribute to Nigeria's transition towards cleaner and more sustainable transportation. ProTaxi, operated by Promiseland Innovation, is an e-hailing platform that emphasizes electric mobility and employment opportunities.

Prince Adetokunbo Ademola Ade-John, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Transportation and Mobility, stated that the initiative aligns with the Federal Government's transportation policy and its efforts to expand the use of electric and compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles. Ade-John praised the investment by Promiseland Innovation's CEO, Ambassador Emmanuel Lawrence Oloche, and encouraged the company to continue developing the initiative.

Oloche explained that Promiseland Innovation aims to address economic and livelihood challenges through technology and transportation services. He emphasized that the initiative seeks to transform lives by providing access to tools and opportunities, enabling people to overcome circumstances and achieve better futures. ProTaxi is designed not just as an e-hailing application, but as a platform that creates opportunities and changes destinies.
