The bus driving training for Kayayei, part of the Kayayei Empowerment Program launched by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, began on Thursday, July 25. The training took place at Ayalolo’s training centers.
Earlier this year, Dr. Bawumia, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, revealed plans to provide head porters, known as “Kayayei,” with driving skills.
This announcement was made during the launch of the “Kayayei Empowerment Programme” in Madina on Tuesday, May 21.
In his speech at the launch, Dr. Bawumia underscored his dedication to creating opportunities for marginalized groups within society.
He stressed the importance of this initiative in equipping the Kayayei with practical skills that could lead to sustainable employment.
In addition to the progress already achieved, I am excited to share that discussions are ongoing with Metro Mass and Ayalolo to provide driving training to the Kayayei.
With Dr. Bawumia’s innovative program in place, the training started on Thursday, aiming to empower individuals with valuable skills and enhance their livelihoods.
