NADDC Launches CNG Conversion Training for Women in Nigeria
The NADDC is training over 50 women in CNG vehicle conversion to enhance gender inclusion in Nigeria's automotive sector. This initiative aims to empower women with technical skills, contributing to the growth of the CNG ecosystem.

The National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) initiated a five-day training program on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle conversion for women, starting June 30, 2025, in Edo State. This program, supported by the Edo State Government and the Lady Mechanic Initiative (LMI), aims to bolster gender inclusion in the automotive industry.
Over 50 women are enrolled, as announced by Engr. Sandra Aguebor, the founder of LMI. The training is expected to enhance women's technical roles in the industry, especially given the increasing demand for CNG technology, which is carbon-free and safe for automotive applications. This initiative may drive further participation of women in technical fields, but its long-term impact will depend on continued support and infrastructure development.
