Each airport will have charging stations to support the eco-friendly vehicles, which can travel up to 200 kilometres per charge.

NiMet noted that the initiative will reduce emissions, lower maintenance costs, and improve operational efficiency.

The adoption of EVs, it added, reflects Nigeria’s commitment to carbon reduction and global sustainability standards.

Director-General Prof. Charles Anosike described the project as a milestone in advancing green growth and modernising NiMet’s operations within the aviation industry.
