Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole, has employed several women as bus drivers for the state's public transport system known as Edo City Transport Services (ECTS).
The women, aged between 22 and 25 years, have been trained to drive the long, heavy, air-conditioned Daewoo Luxury Buses, which will ply the city's highways.

Really? Thats nice. His he trying to look good on the women's eyes. Another thing, why only 22yrs to 25 yrs old? why is Nigeria big on age discrimination?
Chi
He needs to continue catching them young before they head to Italy. I wish the Ibotic and Ijawtic states will adopt this measure to help their women who sleep around for a piece of meat.

hope he is working on those roads! when developing the transportation industry, you must also make sure the infrastructure is on point.
Kinda broke out laughing looking at Adams. He looks funny...a few of the chicks look good. Don't know how the bus thing will pan out in the end. But goodluck with your bus thing.
Good for them. Am very pleased.
Dats so sweet of him,we'll do beta jare.
well ogbemudia did it before him
The guy doesnt look an inch as a governor. He looked like the senior driver among the ladies...laughs
ONOME says........................
welldone sir.Women drive BRT buses in England.Hope they all went to driving schools and have a valid driving licence??Women's emancipation!!
looking good is good business so i can imagine d guys dat will want to be on d bus. hope he provides d women security too sha.
Wait o.... I wonder if any of them managed to escape getting knacked akpako by the governor prior to their hire?
I doubt it sha.
Governor Je mbe Je mbe.
Rotflmao.
Why not? They are going to drive with their brain, eyes and hands not their Vagina.
I heard this guy loves women shaaa....
good development though..what a man can do..
Are this chick not to young for this job?they need plenty energy drink daily cos not an easy job!our governor looks funny in his dress.. Hope they will do the work efficiently!
It is a step forward, atleast he is doing something. There are so many of the governors that don't know what to do with the funds given to them. Carry on comrade!!!
**Wat a man can do--a woman wld try harder**
What a man can do, a babe can do even bera!!!
Oga Adams, na brown belt and purple shoe you wear so????? ROTFLMAO
Wat a man can do a woman do it and sometimes even better.....women are more emotional and would be more careful in their driving.
At least the ladies will have a job and no longer depend on 419 boys , who use and dump them , they ll be a challenge to others too. Osho ride on
this is nyc wen my jr bros mentioned it i didnt take it serious besides its best because some of the male brt drivers we have in this lag are so arrogant
The guy is so short, I was looking for him among the ladies.
ACHIEVEMENT! *claps for him*
Woooow This is so good!
Gbenga you are very right jare just hope our leaders will do more and God will surely help them
Thats a wonderful idea, by the way Linda, how could you approve such a racially demented comment from this gbenga fool? Ok lets even take the gloves off, yes every tribe in Nigeria has got its own fair share of women of easy virture, but its on record that only in yoruba land that you have the highest rate of children outside wedlock, you have morning husband, afternoon husband and night husband. Am not saying there are no good women in yoruba land, but the pot should start calling
I hope it works...
okay now
A big FOOl that's what u are!!
@ Anon 12:15am Instead of you to applaud him for women empowerment you are complaining? Should he have employed your 60 yr old mother so she'll send everyone else to the grave with her?
@ Anon Gbenga, you are smoking shit at 12 am? How else would a sane person write what you just wrote? Na by force to comment?
@ the one who said Ogbemudia did it before... Kill joy!
Intead of commending someone who did something good you ll only want to put the person down. Mumu ode, if Ogbemudia did it before unko? Because this is a public forum and open to everyone some trash cans take it upon themselves to write trash! Keep your negativity with you. Debbie downer. Mr/ Miss I never see nothing good. It's about time someone cursed the hell outta some people.
Oh don't bother to respond to me, it ll be like a drop of water on an ocean... won't feel the darn effect!
This is highly commendable.Empowering the women is the best way to go....they are god managers and this will go along way to alleviate the plights of women in Edo state.Right step in the right direction.....I hope they all have insurance.
Hope this does not lead to more accidents?
In as much the ppl's governor is doing a good temporal gestures, have u asked ourselves after being a bus driver what next? what are their long time goals? plz clear me on that, just curious.
Excellent!
i hope they hav all gone through very intense driving lessons o.and i hope they've got large enuf livers to drive those massive things. cus just this morning in the eagle sqaure car park in abuja, a woman driving a small toyota stopped in the middle of the road (thank God i wasnt moving too fast) backed up without looking in her rearview mirror to see if a car was behind her and hit my headlight. i'd left enough space between us and still she backed up, hit and cracked my headlight...smh
i like the idea of women drivers, guess there will be less rough driving. i just really hope they are superb drivers and dont get jittery cus of the size of the cars
These women have actually been driving these buses 4 d past one year in Edo state. It's a sight to behold and they are doing a good job at dat. I am not really a fan of d gov but i've been having a rethink lately bcos d guy is actually doing shocking work. I say shocking bcos in all my 30plus years in Edo state i 've never witness such development. In ogbemudias time, i was very young, thus culdn't discern much. D gov is trying but he's very troublesome! Well, maybe dat's his strategy 4 getting things done.! Kudos oshos!
Though sme women r strongr dan most men buh I fink women r mre emotionl n mst tyms can't handle it well,Wait til one of em gets a heart break(jst kiddn)nyc concept though.............by d way,y is osho looking like d chief driver in dat photo?lol
My only problem is with the age. It should have been 22-35. Or 30 atleast. Nice one sha.
I DONT LIKE THIS IDEA O. WOMAN DRIVING A BIG BUS. I WONT EVEN ENTER THANK GOD I DONT LIVE IN BENIN. ONE DAY THEY WILL TELL WOMEN TO DRIVE OKADA ALL IN THE NAME OF WOMEN EMANCIPATION. THESE GIRLS ARE GOING TO BECOME LIKE THOSE DRIVERS BY THE TIME THEY ARE 30 THEY WILL BE SO HARD LIKE MEN, I PITY THE MAN WEY GO MARRY THEM COS THEY WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO PERFORM IN THE NIGHT AFTER DRAGGING THOSE HEAVY STEERING AND SHOUTING AND CURSING ALL DAY.
He needs to continue catching them young before they head to Italy. I wish the ngbati ngbati ofemmanu yoruba states will adopt this measure to help their gullible women who sleep around with even their inlaws and husbands' friends for ashoebi dresses.
This is good but I hope they won't be driving at night... am more scared for their safety than anything else.
hmmmmmmm.
Have they been properly trained?
Are they fit to drive long hours?
Will they have appropriate security?
Why the age discrimination?
Why the gender discrimination?
Yes o governor...
Empowering the women of Edo State. At least women are more safer drivers than men
nice initiative
Gbenga wud u grow up for once, must u put ethnicity in every issue, the yoruba gals that stroll around ma office, smiling and looking 4 who to nak d akpako r they ibotic or ijawtic? Foolish mgbati man, mtcheeew.
Lol at the Senior driver comment. True true he does look like the senior driver hahahahaha. Good job though
I saw the Governor at the lagos airport today on his way to Benin.
No big entourage - just about 2 people or so with him. No major drama as he waled through the airport.
I don't know much else about him but the way he carried himself this morning and this news bodes well for Edo State
Looooool, back up a second, you mean that's the governor in the middle......no comment
Good way to employ young people.old people for work no wan retire
@Gbenga... FYI your yourba sisters have PHD in sleeping around.
You wanna make a comment do so without bringing tribe into it.
Oshi OLODO!!
The Gbenga comment's still vexing me.
I can Imagine what he looks like with plenty tribal marks on his black face. MUMU
You should commend the good job of women empowerment OSHI!!
is those old women am seeing there 22 and 25?i dont knw y nigerian women so much like lieying about there age na waaa oh pls ladies always try to be proud of ur age .tufiakwa
That's good but what about the crime rate in Benin, is the place safe?? I remember when we used to have to make sure we were out of Benin by 2pm on our way to and from my village to Lagos and we had to pass through Benin city. We had to be out of Benin by 2pm as armed robbers used to take over the town from that time. But this is a good start to encourage young women to stay at home rather than on the streets of Rome
i hope they will be paid and regularly too. Cos, my bro who works with ects as a manager hardly ever gets his monthly paycheck and this is the kind of publicity they were give back then. Me i never liked or trusted this man sha, not even when he was nlc oga.
Better shut the hell up? When men drive its not gender discrimination but when women drive, it is. U no get sense.
Gbengaaa u just made my day... Ewoo
The Girls look finer than their Governor. LOL
he should better add male conductors cos alot of passengers would want to misbehave like entering the bus without paying cos they are young girls
