President Bola Tinubu has approved the North East Development Commission, NEDC, request to deploy the use of electric-powered vehicles to ease transportation challenges in the region.
The chairman of the commission, Retired General Paul Tarfa disclosed this after a brief meeting with Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Presidential Villa Abuja on Wednesday.
He said the commission is putting modalities in place to build a 5kVA or 10kVA solar-powered grid to bridge power supply gaps.
Tarfa added that beyond the electric vehicles that have been modified to carry more passengers and goods, electric tricycles are also expected to be deployed in the region.
