The Director-General of World Trade Organisation (WTO) Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has commissioned the Abia state electric buses, called for collective efforts around the world in tackling pollution and climate change-generated problems.

Speaking in Umuahia on Monday at the launch of the electric buses by the Abia State government, Okonjo-Iweala stated that any climate-friendly initiative deserves support for the sake of public health.

Iweala applauded Governor Alex Otti and his administration for being Nigeria’s first to launch electric buses, expressing hope that other states will follow this lead.

“One of the biggest things we suffer from in the world is the problem of pollution and climate change.

“And even though Africa contributes only three percent of global carbon emissions, which is very limited, yet all of us have to contribute to a better climate for the world,” she said.

In his address during the commissioning, Abia State Governor, Alex Otti said the introduction of the electric buses represented a new future, as according to him, the world is heading towards zero emission.

Otti who said the vehicles were specially designed to accommodate the interests of Persons Living with Disabilities, said when fully charged, the vehicles can cover between 400 and 450 kilometers.

The Governor announced that the vehicles will provide free transportation for Abia commuters between December and early part of January 2026 on scheduled routes.

He disclosed that special cameras were installed in the buses for the safety of passengers. According to him, the cameras would trace and record all unlawful acts.

Welcome development. Very soon, price war on petroleum products will have no much effect on the masses if electric vehicles become sustainable.

Abia state Governor appears to be the only Governor doing uncommon thing. This is the kind of leader we need in Nigeria. Not those borrowing to loot and demand the citizens to pay through illegal tax.

Great daughter of Anioma.
Hopefully Anioma people should have the sixth state and join with their kith and kin across the Niger.

Thank you also to Governor Alex Otti, who makes LP and the Obidients proud. A Governor who understand leadership and its responsibilities, taking Abia state to greater heights. Hopefully his remaining two years and his second term would make Abia state far greater than it is presently.

We are waiting for Imo and Ebonyi state governors. We've seen the handiworks of Abia, Enugu and Anambra state governors.

In the SW, only Lagos and Oyo state governors are working. We're waiting for Osun, Ondo and Ekiti state governors to show workings too.
