During the commissioning of the electric buses on Wednesday, 27th November, a trained Kayayoo (Head porter) bus driver took Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia on a ride through town.
The occasion marked the graduation ceremony of a special programme aimed at equipping Kayayei (female head porters) with driving skills to enhance their employability and improve their livelihoods.
More than one hundred head potters, popularly called ' kayakyei," have been trained to manage the electric buses.
The initiative was part of a broader effort to empower marginalised groups in the country.
