What happened
The Ondo State Government signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ADMINSERV to introduce electric buses and charging infrastructure in the state. The initiative will begin by deploying five electric buses and installing charging stations at selected bus stops in Akure. The project aims to reduce transportation costs for residents and provide charging facilities for individuals and organizations using electric vehicles.

Why it matters
The partnership is designed to address rising transportation costs within Ondo State. The charging facilities will not be restricted to the buses operated under the initiative, allowing other electric vehicle owners to access them. This marks the first time such a system is being implemented in Ondo State.
