The National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC), in partnership with the Edo State government and the Lady Mechanic Initiative (LMI), has commenced a five-day specialised training programme for female technicians in Edo State on compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle conversion.

The training, which began on June 30, 2025, aims to equip over 50 women with hands-on skills in CNG retrofitting — a key component of Nigeria’s push toward cleaner, more affordable energy in the automotive sector.

At the opening ceremony, NADDC director-general, Mr. Joseph Osanipin, commended the initiative, noting that it reflects the Council’s commitment to gender inclusion and economic empowerment.

“I am happy to support this initiative focused on female technicians,” Osanipin said. “It will promote gender equality, create job opportunities, and drive growth in the automotive industry — especially within the emerging CNG ecosystem.”

He emphasised the importance of recognising women’s contributions to technical fields in Nigeria, stating, “It is now the turn of women to be trained.”

Sandra Aguebor (MFR) thanked the Edo State Government and NADDC for their support.

“We are excited that more than 50 ladies are participating in this programme,” she said. “It’s inspiring to see stakeholders come together to put smiles on the faces of female mechanics in Edo State.”

Aguebor noted a growing community of female auto technicians and drivers across Nigeria, citing the Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) as an example of an institution with several female truck drivers.

Also present at the event was Amina Gambo, Lady Mechanic Coordinator for Kano State, who spoke about the safety and benefits of CNG.

“CNG is not cooking gas — it has no carbon emissions and is safe for automotive use,” she explained.

Her counterpart from Imo State, Petronilla Isaac, encouraged the trainees to take the opportunity seriously. “This is a golden opportunity. Be focused and committed,” she advised.

Some participants spoke during the event and assured the organisers — NADDC, the Edo State Government, and LMI — of their dedication to the programme.

“We will not disappoint you,” one of the trainees said on behalf of the group.

The training is part of NADDC’s broader effort to promote alternative fuel adoption in Nigeria and empower underserved groups within the automotive value chain.
