Bus driving training for kayayei begins

The Bus Driving Training for Kayayei under the Kayayei Empowerment Programme, launched by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, is set to begin on Thursday, July 25.

The training will commence at Ayalolo’s training centers.

Earlier this year, Dr. Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), announced plans to equip head porters, commonly known as “kayayei,” with driving skills.

This announcement was made during the launch of the “Kayayei Empowerment Programme” at Madina on Tuesday, May 21.

During his speech at the launch, Dr. Bawumia emphasized his commitment to creating opportunities for marginalised groups in society.

He highlighted the significance of this initiative in providing practical skills that can lead to sustainable employment for the kayayei.

“In addition to the strides already made, I am thrilled to announce that discussions are ongoing with Metro mass and Ayalolo to teach them (kayayei) driving,” he stated.

Following Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s innovative program, the training for the kayayei is set to start Thursday, July 25, aiming to empower these individuals with valuable skills and improve their livelihoods.
