In a major push for gender inclusion and technical upskilling, the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), in partnership with the Edo State Government and Lady Mechanic Initiative (LMI), has launched a five-day intensive training on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle conversion for women.

The programme, which kicked off in Benin City, Edo State, is aimed at equipping over 50 female mechanics with the skills to work on CNG-powered vehicles, positioning them at the forefront of Nigeria’s shift to cleaner energy in transportation. The initiative signals a crucial step toward creating economic opportunities for women in an industry traditionally dominated by men.

Speaking at the event, NADDC Director General Joseph Osanipin, represented by Deputy Director Mrs. Joke Onireti, praised the move as a turning point for inclusive automotive development. “Now is the time for women to receive this training and contribute fully to the sector,” he said, adding that women technicians will play a vital role in Nigeria’s growing CNG ecosystem.

Founder of the Lady Mechanic Initiative, Engr. Sandra Aguebor (MFR), expressed gratitude to the partners, noting that the number of women in technical roles is rising steadily across Nigeria. She cited the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) as an example, where female truck drivers are becoming more common.

Participants from across Nigeria, including Lady Mechanic coordinators Amina Gambo (Kano) and Petronilla Isaac (Imo), emphasized the safety and sustainability of CNG as a carbon-free, clean energy alternative. Trainees voiced their commitment to the program, pledging to excel and contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s automotive future.
