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.

Good initiative by the Otti's administration

Good one Gov Alex Otti. I love the way Gov Otti is peppering Yarimo with more giant strides in governance. Yarimo sorryooo

Ihe oma na anya gbara ndu

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

Almost 3 years as governor, and this is Alex otti only achievement commissioning of sub standard inflated refurbished buses to his people.

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.

Weldone Otti. We dey see your hand.

According to Mama, Africa contributes only about 3 percent of global carbon emissions index.

In other words, I am permitted to fire up this fat jumbo in my hand

Great initiative ...

Where this man dey carry money from?

Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Bayelsa state governors... Make una no allow thunder do him work ooo

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.

VERY GOOD INITIATIVE

Na Hod go punish the unfortunate thing called darudapo abiodun, my state governor for all the ineptitude he had shown in the administration of ogun state.

He is the worst governor so far ,an ogogoro man.

Kudos to Otti,A governor loved by his people.
