The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) launched zero-emission electric transit services at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja. Developed with Possible Electric Mobility and Zeut Energies, this initiative positions FAAN as a trailblazer in sustainable aviation.
The Board Chairman, H.E. Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo for their support.
FAAN’s Managing Director, Mrs. Olubunmi Kuku, highlighted that her management has optimized energy usage across FAAN’s operations, installing energy-efficient bulbs, solar lighting, and enhancing waste recycling, among other measures to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
This move is part of Nigeria’s broader efforts to reduce carbon emissions and achieve net-zero targets, as outlined by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
FAAN plans to deploy 100 electric vehicles as airport shuttles at both the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, and NAIA, Abuja.
