The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has called on Swedish bus manufacturer Scania to establish a manufacturing plant in Lagos to reduce the rising cost of procuring high-capacity buses.
Mrs.
Abimbola Akinajo admonished Scania, a Swedish bus manufacturer, to set up manufacturing outlet in the city.
“According to Akinajo, Scania needed to expand its partnership with Lagos beyond bus sales and explore capacity building and knowledge transfer,” the statement read in part.
LAMATA disclosed that Swedfund is working with CPCS Transcom Limited and Nexant Consulting Limited to conduct feasibility studies to evaluate the impact of alternate fuels on Lagos’ public transport system.
This initiative is part of the Lagos State Transport Policy, which aims to ensure that the city’s transport system minimizes environmental impact.
