The SEH programme aims to empower women in the automotive industry by providing free training to those who lack the financial means but have the desire to start and build careers as technicians.
During the signing of the MoU that heralded the new partnership, the General Manager, Suzuki by CFAO, Aissatou Diouf, expressed her appreciation to the Automedics team for offering value to the girl child and shared her delight to support the ongoing work in her capacity.She said, “Women are hardworking and resilient and can add as much value as their male counterparts. The problem is that most times they do not have the channels to perform, but once given a platform, they own it.
Speaking, Shonaike said, “When it comes to the girl child, I am very passionate about the topic, and I have trained several women that are operating in the automotive industry, especially here in Nigeria. Some are running their workshops privately, and some are heading workshops for some organisations. At Automedics, when we have female students, I take them under my wings because I want them to be better. I believe women can do practically anything that men can do.
