The next time you board a Lagbus don’t be surprised if it a female driver behind the wheels as the Lagos State government has employed 80 women as mass transit drivers in the state.
This is part of its efforts to empower women in Lagos state according to the Managing Director of LAGBUS, Babatunde Disu, during the training for the fourth batch of LAGBUS captains at the Public Service Staff Development Centre, PSSDC Magodo.
Also speaking, the General Manager for fleet operation, LAGBUS, Seyi Osiyemi, explained that it was also to encourage women who have an interest in driving the LAGBUS service buses.
These 80 women have started their training on driving from the basics and the process will take 3 months. About 200 women applied for this position before they were finally shortlisted to the lucky 80.
