The Federal Government has commissioned the first solar-powered electric vehicle charging station at the University of Lagos.
The project is the initiative of the National Automotive Design and Development Agency, NADDC, under the Elective Vehicle Pilot Project.
The commissioning, which took place on Tuesday at the university’s faculty of engineering, was attended by the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Adeniyi Adebayo; NADDC Board Chairman, Senator Osita Izunaso; and NADDC Director-General, Jelani Aliyi.
