Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is once again setting the pace in innovative leadership as she prepares to empower over 200 of her constituents with locally assembled electric vehicles proudly made in Nigeria.
The groundbreaking initiative, described by many as a bold step into the future of sustainable development, positions the Kogi Central senator as one of the few lawmakers in Nigeria championing green technology as a tool for community empowerment.
According to, Senator Natasha personally visited an indigenous electric vehicle assembly facility two weeks ago to inspect models specially selected for her people. Accompanied by her husband, whom many regard as a strong pillar of support, she declared her intention to empower her constituents with electric vehicles as part of her annual empowerment programme.
“I want to carry out my usual ritual for my people — my yearly constituency empowerment. This time, I want to empower them with electric vehicles,” she said during the visit.
The vehicles, designed for both rural and urban use, will be distributed to farmers, women, small business owners, and transport operators. Beyond immediate economic impact, the senator’s vision is to help her people embrace renewable energy, reduce fuel dependency, and align with global efforts toward environmental sustainability.
A representative from the assembly plant hailed the senator’s foresight, noting that her project goes beyond political empowerment. “This is not just another empowerment programme; it’s a visionary initiative that brings the future closer to ordinary Nigerians,” he said.
Electric vehicles are globally recognised for their low maintenance costs, fuel efficiency, and positive environmental footprint. By choosing to invest in locally assembled EVs, Senator Natasha is not only supporting Nigerian innovation but also creating opportunities for youth employment and skill development in the country’s emerging green tech sector.
Residents of Kogi Central have lauded the senator’s decision, describing it as a revolutionary move that will transform livelihoods. “Senator Natasha is always thinking ahead,” one community leader said. “She’s not just giving people tools for survival — she’s giving them a future.”
The official empowerment ceremony is expected to take place soon, with over 200 beneficiaries set to drive home their electric vehicles. Political analysts believe this initiative could redefine the concept of constituency empowerment across Nigeria, shifting focus from short-term palliatives to sustainable, technology-driven growth.
As anticipation builds, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan stands out once again not just as a lawmaker, but as a visionary determined to drive Kogi and Nigeria into a cleaner, smarter, and more self-reliant future.
