SAGLEV Electromobility Company Limited, Nigeria’s premier electric vehicle (EV) assembler and manufacturer, is set to receive two high-profile visits to its state-of-the-art EV Assembly and Manufacturing facility in Lagos, Nigeria.
The visits, scheduled for July 30 and 31, 2025, will be led by the Honorable Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr. Akinwumi Adesina.
The Minister’s visit will highlight the federal government’s growing commitment to green Industrialisation, local manufacturing, and innovation in Nigeria’s automotive sector. Adesina’s visit, on the other hand, will focus on supporting regional sustainable industrial development and climate-resilient transportation infrastructure.
SAGLEV’s facility, located at Plot 1/11 Bang Amos Industrial Estate, Ogidiga Crescent, Imota, Lagos, is a hub for electric vehicle production, with 16 models currently being manufactured. These models span ride-hailing cars, status sedans, mid-sized delivery EVs, BRT buses, and utility trucks, showcasing the company’s commitment to transforming transportation across West Africa.
“These visits by national and continental leaders validate our commitment to Nigeria’s industrial future and Africa’s clean transportation revolution”, CEO of SAGLEV, Dr. Sam Faleye, said. “We welcome the Honorable Minister, Dr. Jumoke Oduwole and Dr. Akinwumi Adesina as they witness firsthand the progress being made”.
The visits are expected to validate SAGLEV’s efforts in driving Nigeria’s industrial future and Africa’s clean transportation revolution. As a pioneer indigenous EV assembler and manufacturer, SAGLEV is contributing to job creation, local content development, technology transfer, and import substitution within the green mobility ecosystem.
SAGLEV’s dedication to innovation, sustainability, and locally driven impact is evident in its state-of-the-art facility, which is poised to play a significant role in shaping Nigeria’s industrial landscape.
The visits will also highlight the potential for partnerships and collaborations between SAGLEV, the federal government, and international organisations like the AfDB. By showcasing SAGLEV’s capabilities and achievements, the visits are expected to foster greater support for the development of Nigeria’s EV industry and the growth of sustainable transportation solutions across the continent.
