COMPAQ:
Remains to be seen if this will happen! 5000 electric buses is not beans. Each one is like $400k minimum. So 5000 of those will be $2bln!!!

That makes zero sense and is clearly a scam. At most they will deliver maybe 100.

🤣 You don't know what's gwan.

Everybody, come and see, people are arguing with Musiwa!

Meanwhile, the word censor does not work on thread titles! shocked

The name of his website appeared on the title of this thread! The name of that website has been censored/banned on Nairaland for more than 15 years.

Wale Tinubu CON @adewaletinubu

It’s never too cold for an interview at World Economic Forum, Davos.

Just wrapped up an interview with @KennethIgbomor , Market Editor, West Africa @cnbcafrica, at #WEF25 in Davos.

This year’s theme, Industries in the Intelligent Age, is especially relevant to the future of energy and how innovation can help us meet tomorrow’s challenges.

Wale Tinubu CON @adewaletinubu

30 years in the business and my opinion hasn’t wavered; onshore assets in Nigeria are best in the hands of local players.

A great discussion at #WEF2025 with @cnbcafrica !

Oando to deploy 5,000 electric buses for public transport in Lagos – Wale Tinubu

The Group Chief Executive Officer of OandO Plc, Wale Tinubu has disclosed that the oil firm is partnering with the Lagos State Government to deploy 5,000 electric buses for public transportation in the state.

Tinubu, said this in an interview with CNBC Africa, on the sidelines of the just concluded World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

He said the decision to invest in electric vehicles, particularly for public transportation, is informed by the company’s commitment to adopting cleaner energy solutions as part of its ‘just’ energy transition drive.

He makes a case for a ‘just transition’ over decarbonisation in Africa as the continent “is actually a victim of global warming,” bearing the brunt of climate change while contributing only about 3% of global emissions.

He stressed that Africa cannot decarbonise or abandon its large deposits of fossil fuels for clean energy sources while the majority of its citizens wallow in energy poverty.

“The arguments for decarbonisation are as important as the arguments for a just transition, and that transition has to recognize the fact that Africa has 45% of the people who have no access to electricity or energy products so our first step really must be to use what we need, which means that we need to use our gas as part of the energy mix to service the needs of our continent and that we need to do so as a transitional fuel whilst we work with an energy mix”
He noted that Oando, being a major player in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry is deploying EVs as a “carbon capture technique” to contribute to the global decarbonisation campaign.

“For every modicum of carbon we put into the economy, into the world and the environment, we are also taking that out by ensuring that we have carbon capture techniques as well as ensuring that our clean energy offering to as part of our products and services is high so we’re focusing a lot on e-vehicles,”
he explained.

He disclosed that the company will deploy 5,000 electric buses to Lagos in its contribution to helping Nigeria transition its public transport system from combustion engines to electric vehicles.

“We are using gas as a transitional fuel to create electricity to generate the power to power buses, transport is 10% of global emissions so if we tackle public transport we would be able to reduce emissions by 5% almost immediately and the first step we’re doing now is also working on a public system of being able to transit the bus system in Nigeria from diesel or petrol to electric vehicles starting with a project which we’re working on with the Lagos state government as a pilot case where we expect to see up to 5,000 buses, e-buses being deployed in our streets.”
Oando to deploy AI in next oil drilling campaign

Tinubu also hinted at the potential deployment of artificial intelligence in the company’s next drilling campaign, as the company aims to enhance operational efficiency through technology.

He explained that the deployment of AI has become necessary to effectively utilise resources, and improve overall performance in Oando’s upcoming projects.

“It (AI) is a big game-changer. For example in our drilling operations, we have to make serious decisions which have a high impact on cost. And being able to throw in all the potential answers to our questions based on old experiences, by having a whole sequence of possibilities which can be taken through artificial intelligence. So it is something we are looking forward to deploying in our next drilling campaign,”
he disclosed.

12) Spiro, Horwin and the Ogun State Government

Spiro was founded in 2019 by Africa Transformation and Industrialization Fund (ATIF), an Abu Dhabi-based investment firm and its headquarters is in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

The company has grown to become the biggest provider of electric motorcycles in Africa. It has led an e-bike revolution in Kenya, Rwanda, Benin Republic and Togo. It also has presence in Uganda and Tanzania.

Spiro teamed up with Horwin, a Chinese manufacturer of electric motorcycles and batteries, to provide electric motorcycles to customers in many countries across Africa. These motorcycles are sold without batteries and Spiro also runs solar charging stations and battery swap systems that enable the motorcycle riders to rent batteries for a fee.

The motorcycles are used for public transportation and delivery services and they are cheaper to own and run than petrol powered motorcycles.

President Bola Tinubu was the special guest of honour at the 63rd Independence anniversary celebration of Benin Republic on August 1st, 2023. Many Nigerian state governors and other dignitaries were also invited to the event.

Spiro had a demonstration for Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State and this demonstration was witnessed by Governors Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, AbdulRahman AbdulRasaq of Kwara and other dignitaries.

Spiro's e-bikes are very popular in Benin Republic and Governor Dapo Abiodun was looking for cheaper sources of energy and exploring electric and CNG options after the removal of petrol subsidies in Nigeria, so Spiro had the demonstration for him in Benin Republic.

Ogun State adopted the e-bike solution and okada riders in Ogun were registered for the battery swapping system and they also received the e-bikes.

Spiro is building a $40m assembly plant in Ogun at which electric motorcycles and batteries will be assembled. Spiro had previously signed a deal with Horwin to build assembly plants in selected African countries.
