The buses represent the first batch of 50 electric buses being introduced through the state government’s partnership with Oando Clean Energy Limited.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this in a post on X, saying the deployment followed a successful test run involving two electric buses.
He said the state was scaling up the initiative through private-sector collaboration to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and make daily commuting more efficient for residents.
“These 11 buses are on the road now and the rest are on the way,” the governor said.
Sanwo-Olu explained that the partnership would enable Lagos to accelerate the transition to cleaner transportation without waiting decades to achieve the desired improvements.
He added that the state was working towards building a transport system that meets the immediate needs of residents while remaining sustainable in the future.
The deployment forms part of Lagos State’s broader efforts to modernise its public transport system, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote environmentally friendly mobility.
