UNILAG unveils new logo, buses using solar energy, electricity

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) on Monday inaugurated buses using solar energy and electricity aimed at achieving zero emission and also unveiled its updated logo.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Folasade Ogunsola, unveiled the buses and logo at a media parley in Lagos.
Ogunsola said that the buses were made and donated by two alumni of the institution who owned companies called Ogata Global Resources and Chart Eco Global Services.
She said: “The buses will be used for public transportation.
“These buses are prepared for sustainable planning.
“They are using solar and can be charged through electricity.
“UNILAG has good air quality, and we want to maintain that.
“One of the sources of pollution is emission from cars.
“The old logo does not represent the brand of UNILAG.
“We want our partners and stakeholders to use the updated logo.”
Ogunsola thanked media organisations for their support and constructive criticisms.
She added: “Thank you for being a part of our journey and interrogating us when necessary.
“We are looking forward to a great and better 2025 for all of us including students and staff.”
Itunu Okusami, Consultant-in-Chief, Chart Eco Global Services, said the company partnered with UNILAG in the innovation “because this institution is an impact house for technologies”.
Okusami said that the organisation also wanted to enhance UNILAG’s work-study initiatives “because we want to get students to join our workforce.
“We also want to increase their creativity.
“Most importantly, we want to reduce the cost of transportation in the university.”
Henry Eke, Chairman, Ogata Global Resources, said the organisation was happy to introduce the buses to his alma mater.
Eke said: “These buses are fully zero emission and fully electric.”
Mojeed Alabi, National President, Education Writers Association of Nigeria, thanked the UNILAG management, at the event, for its support for education reporters.
