The bus driving training for Kayayei, as part of the Kayayei Empowerment Programme launched by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is scheduled to commence today, Thursday, July 25.
The training will take place at Ayalolo’s training centres.
Earlier this year, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Bawumia, announced plans to provide driving skills to head porters, commonly known as “kayayei.”
This announcement was made during the launch of the “Kayayei Empowerment Programme” at Madina on Tuesday, May 21.
During the launch, Dr Bawumia emphasized his commitment to creating opportunities for marginalized groups in society and emphasized the significance of this initiative in providing practical skills that can lead to sustainable employment for the kayayei.
He also mentioned that discussions are ongoing with Metro mass and Ayalolo to teach the kayayei driving.
Following this innovative program, the training for the kayayei is set to start today, aiming to empower these individuals with valuable skills and improve their livelihoods.
