On Thursday, Nigus Enfinity, an indigenous firm, announced that it will introduce electric vehicles into the Nigerian automobile market in 2018.

Malik Ado-Ibrahim, chairman of the company, made this known to journalists in an interactive session which held in Abuja.

Nigerians on social media had a lot to say about the proposed plan, especially as the country continues to grapple with stable power supply.

Here are some reactions from Twitter and Facebook

Will there be a space to hang a small generator in the vehicle? https://t.co/fA6vj0idyK

Obviously Nigerian market will not be too good for electric cars, it still struggles to get 3000MW of power supply. https://t.co/4FlIcAfgrB
