The Nigerian government has purchased made-in-Nigeria electric vehicles from Jet Motors, a Nigerian technology company. This was carried out by the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), which recently purchased locally-made electric vehicles.
The agency’s move was part of the plan to reduce carbon emissions and assemble efficient cars after the fuel subsidy regime.
Jet Motors, founded by Chidi Ajaere in 2018, the Chairman of GIG Group delivered a statement following the federal government’s acquisition of electric vehicles from his company. In the statement, Jet Motors noted that it had a great sense of fulfilment that the government was looking its way as it looked for alternative options in keeping with new realities.

Jet Motors’ statement reads:
“For us, it os gratifying that as a local electric vehicle producer, the government, through the NADDC, is beginning to fully appreciate the place of alterantives to petrol-run vehicles, especially against the backdrop of the removal of petrol subsidy. However, beyond the current realities, electric vehicles hold the answer to the future of mobility in Nigeria, Africa, and the world. We are excited that we are at the center of the innovation disrupting mobility in Africa.”
A report from Daily Trust noted that at the handover of the vehicles, NADDC commended Jet Motors for its innovation toward building a sustained pipeline of clean mobility for the Nigerian market and beyond.
