I am excited to announce the first set of electric buses in the Lagos Mass Transit Master Plan as part of our increased effort to modernise every sector of Lagos. Thanks to our partnership with @Oando_PLC, Lagosians can expect a cleaner and greener public transportation system.
With the ability to travel 280km at full charge, taking into account our unique travel times in Lagos, our electric buses are a game-changer. With an average daily usage of 200km by existing BRTs, there is no need to fear that the buses can stop while in transit.
Our new electric buses will not only reduce carbon emissions but will also increase efficiency. This means that Lagosians can say goodbye to high fuel costs and hello to cost-efficient transportation. We shall be running a pilot scheme over the next few months to gather sufficient data required to analyse the operational efficiencies relative to the current BRT buses to further improve our public transport service.
This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to creating a sustainable future for Lagos.
We understand the need for charging stations to power our electric buses, which is why we are partnering with Oando Clean Energy Limited to strategically place Universal Chargers at public places like malls and gas stations. We also plan to establish an Assembly Plant for Electric Buses in the near future.
This is just the beginning of our efforts to transform Lagos into an even smarter city as we continue to increase our fleet of electric vehicles, further modernizing the Lagos transportation system.
Join us in embracing the future of mobility in Lagos.

Held meeting with Starlink whose focus is tech, particularly internet connectivity. We intend to quickly sort out Zambia’s connectivity issues as this is the way we can truly have a functional E-government of the 21st Century.

Mr. President, Excellencies, we meet here at #UNGA2022 during a difficult time, when global challenges have not only multiplied, but have become more complex.
As a country with two-thirds of the population below the age of 25, intergenerational equity is very important to us. Our #NDG seeks to harness this demographic dividend by investing in its youthful & energetic population for a better future. #UNGA2022
As the Global Cholera Control Champion, with many thanks to @WHO, our fight against cholera must continue with force. We also remain alert to any possible outbreaks of monkey pox, ebola virus disease & other threats. #UNGA2022
This afternoon, we had a meeting with Executives of business which was hosted by the US Chamber of Commerce’s US-Africa Business Forum. We shared our vision with them of where we see them participating in the Zambia success story through direct investment and joint ventures.
You have enough people in life against you, don’t be against yourself. Pay attention to what you’re saying. You can’t talk defeat and have victory. You can’t talk lack and have abundance. You can’t talk sickness and have health.
