This is really a good project but not well thought out, what happens dangote refinery. The diesel from dangote refinery will be a bit of waste product because other states have either launched their modular refineries or are moving to cng and lng

Yes, because we have been empowering the state with our IGR

If the money made in lagos is used judiciously, we will have a state that is better than Dubai. But poor management and embezzlement has been the bane of this state.

I give it 6 months
Come and check again?

Scam, scam scam , I smells scam. Where are the charging stations and other infrastructures for electric buses.

As for me, I don't see any reason to pump more cars on the road.
Because this will cause more traffic....

The government should consider water transportation

What I don't understand is why OANDo is sponsoring the program

This is very beautiful. We the Lagos people will enjoy this buses purchased with our taxes.

Congratulations my fellow Lagosians. We are doing well, very soon the government will be building new houses for us so we can have decent housing in Lagos.

Sultty:
it's a project in futility. Here are my reasons:
-No constant infact no electricity except you buy diesel and power big gens to charge them (cost of diesel and cost of generator repair is high and it's going to be a constant repair for a region with poor maintainance culture)
-parts of the bus just like the fossil fuel types too will be imported
-repairmen will likely be foreigners cos it's a new concept and we don't have capable hands
-bad mannered drivers and conductors, causing problems and loss of lives I'm citing the accident with a mini bus at ifako bridge and abduction of a lady for ritual purpose

OANDO will be building Universal Chargers at public places like malls and gas stations, and also at designated BRT bus stations. So that takes care of the electricity concerns.

This is a pilot phase and the idea is that if this turns out good, an Assembly plant will be built in Lagos for electric buses in the near future.

Clean energy is the future.

With security cameras to for protection of passengers and driver

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
January 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

The question is what is the end objective of the electric buses. To reduce fossil fuel emissions? How many people in Nigeria can afford even basic electric cars today? Why spend so much in public chargers when only public transportation buses will use them? Is that profitable?

Misplaced objectives done for eye service. That is the summary of this project.

Pepperdem88:

Sorry no sensible government will follow this foolish venture when we have gas and should be converting our Petro engine cars into gas and build new engine on gas . Innoson just built one ,that is how you grow an economy not chasing shadows growing other people economy because you want to feel among.

laivwire:
Is this what Lagos transport really needs now?

Or trams that have dedicated speed lanes linking residential and work areas with no obstruction that you can be sure to depart and arrive destinations at pre-appointed times devoid of traffic hold ups.

With that alone, traffic jams and toxic emissions will drop by 50% at least because people will gladly drop their cars at home.

Dey do electric bus when electricity is not even stable. Putting the cart before the horse.

Power supply: All homes in Lagos will be lit in six months if… —Fashola

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, said the solution to the problem of power sector could be achieved in six months if the Distribution Companies, DISCOs, were ready to yield some percentages of their concessions to the state government.

Fashola made this statement at the commissioning of the 1.2 kilometer Glover Road and 8.5 megawatts, Peninsula Integrated Power Project, PIPP, Lekki, Eti-Osa Local Government Area.

The governor, while commissioning the fifth IPP, said: “Let the EKO DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government. In about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State.

“So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated.

‘’So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible.”
