Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has test driven a locally assembled electric car named Hyundai Kona.
Osinbajo drove the car on Tuesday in Abuja, while on exhibition tour of made-in-Nigeria products at the opening ceremony of a 5-day Nigeria @ 60 Expo being held at the Eagle Square, Abuja.
Speaking with the newsmen afterwards, Osinbajo expressed excitement at the innovation and said he was hopeful of a bright future for Nigeria.
“A very good drive; fantastic; it just shows what is possible.
“I am glad to see that this is an assembled in Nigeria electric car.
“You can literally charge it anywhere; I think it is a very fantastic innovation; fantastic product, and I can tell because I drove it,” he said.
The Director-General, World Trade Organisation, commended the organisers for their efforts to showcase the growth of Nigeria’s Micro Small and Medium Enterprises.
