ITRealms:
The LAGBUS Asset Management Company, the operators of Lagos metropolitan red buses, said it has concluded plans to employ more women as drivers, reports ITRealms.
The cheery news which was made
public through the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN),said the company is ready to train
any lady or woman interested in driving the metropolitan bus.
The Managing Director of the
company, Babatunde Disu,
hinted that successful female drivers would be certified by the Lagos State
Drivers Institute (LASDRI) before a bus would be allocated to them.
An accountant and a graduate from
University of Lagos Abimbola Agbekola,a driver, urged females to join the
programme and make a living from it, adding that “what a man can do, a woman can do better.”
Agbekola said driving articulated
vehicles, such as the LAGBUS is a way of empowering the female gender. ”My
husband saw the advert in a road show organized by the management and he told
me when he got back home, and advised me to apply because he knows I have passion
for driving.
”You may
not have driving skill but management of LAGBUS will train you and you will be
certified by LASDRI.This is an opportunity for female gender to empower
themselves and make life better, instead of waiting for their husband to do everything
for them,” ITRealms learnt.
