Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor Wahab Egbewole has submitted that all things being equal, the institution would soon get its transportation system enhanced through the introduction of electric buses.
Professor Egbewole also added that ‘our colleagues in the electrical engineering department are already working on this’.
‘We are considering the idea of introducing electric buses and our colleagues in the electrical engineering department are already working on this model and we hope that part of the research grants received will go into that, however, in the interim, we will inject more busses into the system, we also have some people who want to make more buses available.
Also from the gate to the campus, we have come up with a smooth ride. We are equally looking forward to the Kwara State government completing the ongoing flyover project at Tipper Garage and this will also help a lot’, he said.
