Jubaili Bros, EV24.Africa, and Illigo Partner to Power Nigeria’s Electric Mobility Future

Nigeria's Integrated EV Launch

Nigeria’s clean energy and mobility ambitions are slowly turning from talk to action. The latest move comes from a new alliance between Jubaili Bros Nigeria, EV24.Africa, and Illigo, three companies combining expertise in energy, technology, and mobility to accelerate the country’s shift toward a more sustainable future.

Their plan is simple but strategic: create a renewable-powered EV ecosystem that actually works in Nigeria’s unique environment. EV24.Africa will handle the supply and distribution of electric vehicles; Jubaili Bros will build and maintain solar-based charging systems; and Illigo will manage the software backbone that keeps everything connected and commercially viable.

Together, they aim to close the two biggest gaps slowing Nigeria’s EV adoption, power reliability and infrastructure access.

Three Companies, One Vision

EV24.Africa, part of the AUTO24.Africa network, is no stranger to Africa’s auto market. The company has been building a supply chain that makes electric vehicles more accessible across the continent. Through this partnership, it plans to extend that reach to Nigeria with models designed for local realities, cost, maintenance, and range.

For Jubaili Bros, a veteran in power generation and hybrid solar systems, this is an evolution of its existing business. The company’s role is to provide dependable power infrastructure for charging stations, using a mix of solar, batteries, and microgrid technology. It’s a crucial piece in a country where electricity reliability often determines the success of any modern tech rollout.

Meanwhile, Illigo brings the digital layer that ties everything together. Its Charger Management Platform will serve as the command center for the new network, allowing real-time monitoring, payments, and energy tracking. The software will let operators manage charging stations remotely and monetize them efficiently, whether they’re fleet depots or public hubs.

This kind of end-to-end setup, vehicle, power, and management, has been missing from Nigeria’s EV space until now.

Closing the Power Reliability Gap

Electric mobility in Nigeria is still in its early stages. While startups and policy advocates have pushed for cleaner alternatives, progress has often been slowed by infrastructure gaps. Most EV pilots operate in isolation, powered by diesel generators or small-scale solar setups with limited reach.

This partnership challenges that pattern by creating a synchronized ecosystem rather than disconnected experiments. Jubaili Bros’ nationwide footprint gives the project a strong operational base, while Illigo’s software makes it possible to scale without losing efficiency or visibility.

If it works, Nigeria could finally move beyond symbolic EV pilots and into real, functioning networks, starting with fleet operators, logistics companies, and urban mobility services that can justify early adoption through lower long-term costs.

The End-to-End Advantage

What sets this collaboration apart isn’t just the ambition, it’s the structure. Nigeria doesn’t need more press statements about EVs. It needs systems that can survive in an environment of unstable grids, fluctuating exchange rates, and inconsistent policy.

Each company is tackling one layer of that challenge:

• EV24.Africa brings access and affordability.

• Jubaili Bros ensures reliable, renewable energy supply.

• Illigo provides data-driven visibility and monetization tools.

By covering the entire value chain, they’re building a model that could scale sustainably without waiting for government subsidies or foreign aid. It’s a private-sector solution to a national infrastructure problem, a rare thing in Nigeria’s clean energy narrative.

The Road to Mass Adoption

Despite the strong foundation, challenges remain. Import duties on EVs, lack of charging standards, and limited local awareness still hinder adoption. Building public trust will take time and visibility; Nigerians need to see EVs and charging stations in action, not just in press releases.

But if Jubaili Bros, EV24.Africa, and Illigo can deploy even a small network successfully, it could shift perception and pave the way for others to follow. Early fleet conversions, delivery services, ride-hailing firms, and corporate mobility programs might be the real testbed for what’s possible.

The road to electrification in Nigeria will be long, but partnerships like this suggest it’s finally being paved with something tangible.
