Alex Otti of Abia has said his administration chose Electric Vehicles (EVs) over Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)-powered buses because EVs represent an upgrade in transportation technology.
Otti explained that it was for that reason that the government opted for electric buses for its public transportation system.
He offered the explanation during the October edition of his monthly media chat held at the Michael Okpara Auditorium, Umuahia, on Friday night. He said that despite the preference for EVs, the State Government still encouraged the establishment of additional CNG stations in the state. “We are not opposed to CNG, but we chose electric vehicles for our public transportation system,” the governor said. He said that both petrol and CNG vehicles operate on internal combustion engines, while EVs require a different propulsion system.
