Former Senator, Ben Murray Bruce has once again called for a ban on all combustible engine cars by 2035.
The Founder of Silverbird Group asked that the federal government ensure a total ban by 2035.
Ben Bruce made the call via a Twitter post on Saturday when he announced his order for two Lucid Electric cars.
Ben Bruce has been vocal in his opposition to continuous reliance on fossil fuel.
As a Senator, he sponsored a bill for the ban of fossil powered vehicles.
He added that the Lucid Car is better than Tesla.
“In practising what I preach, I recently put a deposit on this yet to be manufactured Lucid Electric Car. Delivery is early next year. It’s capable of more miles per charge than a Tesla. An amazing machine. Nigeria should ban all combustion Engine cars by 2035,” he said.
This is coming in the wake of the federal government’s plan to invest $1.5billion in the Port Harcourt refinery and Dangote Group about to deliver the Dangote refinery in Lagos.
