Lagos Deploys 11 Electric Buses, Targets 50 Through Oando Partnership

The Lagos State Government has deployed 11 electric buses as part of its efforts to promote cleaner, more efficient and sustainable public transportation across the state.

The buses represent the first batch of 50 electric buses being introduced through a partnership between the state government and Oando Clean Energy Limited.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu disclosed this in a post on his X account on Thursday, November 12, 2026, noting that the deployment followed a successful test run involving two electric buses.

According to the governor, the remaining buses will be introduced as the initiative progresses, with the partnership expected to accelerate the adoption of environmentally friendly transportation solutions in Lagos.

Sanwo-Olu explained that the initiative was designed to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and make public transportation more efficient and convenient for residents.

He noted that collaboration with the private sector would help the state achieve its clean mobility objectives faster while addressing the growing transportation needs of its population.

The governor added that Lagos was committed to developing a modern transport system capable of meeting present mobility demands while supporting long-term environmental sustainability.

The deployment is part of the state government’s broader strategy to modernise its public transportation network, reduce reliance on fossil fuels and expand the use of cleaner energy alternatives across the transport sector.
