The Federal Government has launched the 10,000 Women in Mobility Programme to provide women across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with access to vehicles, tricycles and motorcycles through affordable credit facilities.

The initiative, which is being implemented through the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (NCCC), is designed to expand women’s participation in the transport, logistics and delivery sectors, while also promoting financial inclusion and sustainable income generation.

Under the programme, eligible women will be supported to acquire mobility assets at concessional rates, enabling them to engage productively in commercial transportation and related services.

According to the Federal Government, the initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritises inclusive economic growth, job creation and the empowerment of women and other vulnerable groups.

The government noted that the programme is expected to reduce entry barriers faced by women in the mobility sector, enhance their economic independence and contribute to the growth of Nigeria’s informal and formal transport value chains.

It added that the 10,000 Women in Mobility Programme reflects ongoing efforts to leverage consumer credit as a tool for social and economic development, while ensuring that women are not left behind in emerging opportunities within the transportation and logistics ecosystem.
